O'Malley Loves the A-Word As Much As Jean Does

Baby wishes he had found the bag of yarn first

Psst: If you've spent any time around Jean and our Sit and Stitch group, you will already know that "the A-word" refers to alpaca, arguably the loveliest yarn of all. 

That's what Jean says. And apparently her cat O'Malley agrees. He is a fan of all things fiber, as you can see from his admiration of the basket from Ghana, above. 

And here O'Malley has the best of all possible worlds: A hand-woven basket, and a bag of alpaca yarn. Look closely and you will see that he has pulled a tiny pillow of the yarn out of the bag to cushion his head. Note the smile.  

We love a cat who knows his fibers.
