Cheeky Monkey

You probably don't want reminding but Christmas is on it's way. I thought that this year instead of buying my family presents, I would knit them all something. That's the plan anyway. I would be able to get on a lot faster if Jenna here didn't think she was a cat and start playing with the balls of wool. The scene in this video here is what met us when we came home one night. This hasn't been a one off event either. She seems to have an obsession with wool and I've caught her many a times. Every time she pulls a ball apart even if she's only had it for a minute, it takes (and I don't joke here) over an hour to unravel it all! This time took even longer as it was multiple balls all tangled together. I've become somewhat of an expert now and actually secretly enjoy the challenge of unraveling! It's like a puzzle. What was lucky about this time was that the knitting on the needles remained intact. Man I would have been cross if she had pulled that apart and I definitely wouldn't have seen the funny side like I have here let me tell you! I decided on this occasion to put it on video because the trail of destruction was vast. Also, you don't really know a huge amount about Jenna and this video really portrays her cheeky personality. Watch her ears twitch back and her eyes blinking innocently when I talk to her! Tut tut!

Fairisle is intricate enough without having to untangle the wool - you have the patience of a saint! As you say a nice record of her cheeky character. I suppose a bag of her own wool to mess with would not carry that frisson of devilment! x

It is a nice little clip of her character isn't it! I must have the patience of a saint because people always call me that. I need that though to be able to put up with Jenna's antics. She's in a really chewy phase right now. I think it's because she's becoming an adolescent dog.
