More knitting and vultures:

Vachel the vulture knits a sweater.

I'd never seen this comic before but KnittinK referred to it on her weblog.

Vachel is considerably cuter than the vulture that showed up on my roof, though. Perhaps I will have to try to knit myself a little vulture as a memory of the whole incident. (Can't find any online vulture patterns. I do have a sewing pattern for a buzzard, and I always wanted to make one - it was sort of a cutified, cartoonized vulture).

(there is, however, a free knitting pattern for a vulture sweater online. No, it's not quite my style, my shoulders are already broad enough, thank you.)

If you go to the main Little Dee page, there's a blog where the author shows a picture of the stitch Vachel "used." Verisimilitude rules!
