Daily Photo Reprise: The Best Bed, 2011

…is a crochet project mom just finished. Just after I added the last piece of fringe to my new crocheted shawl, Cookie stepped onto it, rolled it up into a comfortable pile, and took a nap.

Professional Crochet Tester Cookie is hard at work, as you can see. Not only must my crochet projects be tested while I work but also when they are done. And repeatedly. And by as many cats as possible but especially Cookie and Kelly.

It also must be assured that no item I’ve created be used until it has cat hairs embedded in its weave.

This shawl is now ready to meet the public. I am so grateful for all my assistants.
