Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends! 🍗😸
Here's a cat who's not thankful and will probably bite its owners toes in the middle of the night.

Even if you’re familiar with the history of fairies in western culture, Egeler’s book is worth reading. His discussion of Icelandic folklore is fascinating and he’s consistently interesting, as in his account of J.M. Barrie and traditional Scottish fairy belief. #FolkloreThursday

I used 100% merino in DK multi-ply. And of course it's hand dyed so altho I made this for a friend for Christmas, I'll sell it to you for the low price of $1000, gotta be worth more than Prada's plus you get a hat.
And of course a great message from #BootsRiley and The Coup. 🧶✊🏾
