I've been using up a lot of tissue in the past month, and so there were several empty tissue boxes lying around. Perfect for rats! At first, each rat decided to take his own rat tissue box and make himself at home. When I peeked in the cage, there were two tissue boxes, each with little fuzzy rat noses sticking out. Then they turned around, so there were tissue boxes with furry rat butts. Then the next time I looked, they decided it was cold or something, because there were two rat tails hanging out from one tissue box. I am still rather amazed that my two very fat rats managed to squish themselves in.





I also finished some knitting the past week -- the second scarf, which is Not Quite So Ugly, and rather lopsided to boot, and two little kerchiefs with knitted flowers. The flowers are sort of big and floppy, and I have no idea if my sister will ever wear it, but I had a lot of fun knitting increases! So there.

Yay to the amazingly cute ratties!

[oyceter]

I know, aren't they? *preens*

Hee hee, I am so shameless when it comes to my rats!

Cute rat pics! Your scarf is the most beautiful colour! Is it chenille? Looks sooo soft.

[oyceter]

Aw, thank you! It is chenille, very nice and thick and fuzzy.

OMG THAT FIRST PIC IS SO CUTE

Nice scarf, too!

[oyceter]

Eeeeee I know!! I found them sleeping like that and it was so cute I absolutely had to take a picture!

Sooooooooo cute, the ratties....

The first rat pic is the Cutest Thing Ever. Keep taking rat pictures! I love the rat pictures!

[oyceter]

Aren't they cute?? Hee hee hee, I will continue taking rat pictures and posting them because I love it when people admire my petes ;).

Plus, the noses! The crawling over each other!

cute rats AND knitting!

You are doing quite well. I am impressed with the kerchief especially, it's very even and the flower looks great!

[oyceter]

Thank you! The kerchief was actually really fun and knitted very fast -- I made the first one while watching the Oscars. Helped to have thick yarn too. And I think I may have found a group of people around here who knit, joy!

[chi-zu.livejournal.com]

That's the best, talking to other kniters and seeing what they're doing. Knitting is my only non-work related social outlet here.

[oyceter]

Heh, I suspect it will be something like that if this knitting circle thing works out. My fingers are crossed, and I am quite excited!

These are just too cute for words. ;-)

And that first one just squeeks "Icon!" to me:



Hee!

Awwww! Rats! Rats!

[oyceter]

^_^ They are so funny and strange!

[oyceter]

OMG SO CUTE! Can I snurch?

[thinkum]

Good heavens, of course you can! ;-)

All I did was crop a bit and tweak the levels (best I can do when I'm at the office; all my good graphics software is on the home machine). The real credit goes to the photographer -- and her two adorable subjects. ::grin::

[oyceter]

Thank you! I love all your icons, btw!

[thinkum]

Thank you! It's much more fun to make them, when I know other people will enjoy them. ;-)

Here's another version -- I think the saturation came out a bit better on this one:

[oyceter]

Awwww, thank you!
