Saturday Snapshot(s): The Vacuum Ate My Knitting

We have a robot vacuum and I left some knitting on the floor.

I absolutely should have known better.

      The knitting is fine, the tangled up yarn will almost certainly need to be sacrificed 😁

    Oops! Thankfully that’s one problem I’ll never have…..mind you life with various cats/kittens has seen similar scenes🤭

      It’s a bit like an unruly pet, if you leave anything on the floor he’ll eat it 😆

    I spent ages trying to find a ball of yarn and eventually bought a new one…and then the hoover stopped working. It was wedged in the brushes…

    Worst than a cat’s damage.

      I think so, it’s snarled up tight!

    Oh no!! We have robot vacuums too. Looks like not toooo much lost yarn.

      No I think it will be fine, in theory there is excess on the skein… we’ll see! Small price to pay for never having to hoover 😁

      It knows what it did… and it would DO IT AGAIN!

    Oh no! We have a robot too and I am always a bit paranoid my husband will start him off without checking the floor for knitting projects.

      Ours heads straight for any knitting, shoelaces, bag straps or cords that are lying about. He doesn’t like stuff on the floor I guess!

    Nooooooooooo!!!!! Oh, I am so sorry! I hope it isn’t too catastrophic?

      Nah I don’t feel at all stressed about it, I should have plenty to finish the project! If not, I’ll reevaluate but I don’t think there will be any untangling of this tangle.

        It looks pretty permanently tangled for sure!
