CBIP - Cat Bed in Progress [finally]

He Who Bakes Spice Cake Chocolate Rum Balls and I went to Jim and Terri's this afternoon, and I finally, finally, FINALLY got the cat bed started. I took advantage of Terri's good nature and maternal patience and talked her into getting the first three or four rounds on the Double Pointed Needles of Death(tm). I was able to take it from there and made quite a lot of progress today. I am now, of course, blind and arthritic from all that knitting, but progress has been made. Amen.
