I bought Crafty Deb's skeleton pattern a week before Halloween. It isn't a hard pattern, but try as I might, I just haven't been able to finish it. I knew I wouldn't get much crochet time when I was babysitting the 17-month-old granddaughter, so I saved the pattern on my iPad. Since my iPad was frequently in use by this granddaughter, I also saved the pattern on my iPhone. I was able to get a round or two done every now and then, but then my iPhone refused to show me the pattern.
I managed to finish as far as the leg bones, but then a cat found the yarn. I don't know why only this cat attacks the yarn, nor do I know why he only attacks this yarn. I had a couple of skeins of yarn sitting on the bed, along with the skeleton pieces. He attacked the pieces, so I bagged them up. Simple, right? No! He tried attacking them through the bag. When I moved the bag, he went after the remaining yarn, but only the small skein of white that I had been using for the skeleton. It wasn't moving, so I'm not sure why he was attracted to it. All of the yarn on the bed was the same brand, and the same weight, but different colors. Maybe I should start another skeleton, but in a different color. Or, maybe I can finish this one by next Halloween!
