People form strong bonds with pets for a variety of reasons. One of the main reasons is that pets provide companionship and a sense of connection. They can be a source of comfort and support, especially during difficult times. The simple act of caring for a pet can also be incredibly rewarding and can help to boost self-esteem and self-worth.

Pets can also serve as a reflection of ourselves, and people often see their pets as an extension of themselves. People can project their own emotions and personalities onto their pets, and this can strengthen the bond they have with them.

Pets also have a positive impact on our physical and mental health. Studies have shown that interacting with pets can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve overall well-being. Owning a pet can also provide a sense of purpose and routine, which can be especially beneficial for older adults or those living alone.

In addition, pets can also provide a sense of security and safety. They can be protectors and watchdogs, and their presence can provide a sense of comfort and security.

Overall, the bond between humans and pets is complex and multifaceted. It is a combination of emotional, physical, and psychological factors that contribute to the strong connection that people form with their pets.

Knit a Stunning Bestiary Scarf

I don’t even know what to say about this amazing knitting pattern. The Bestiary Scarf from Monstra & Mirabilia is so full of details it’s a little intimidating to talk about. 

It features, as the designer describes it, an “artistic encyclopaedia of Western mythical creatures.”

The pattern includes a dragon, harpy, Medusa, chimaera, centauress, phoneix, kraken, mermaid, sew serpent, cyclops, wyvern, Pegasus, amphiptere and amphibaena. (It’s a good thing there’s a photo of the proejct with everything labelled because I definitely didn’t know the names for everything.) It’s also designed like a landscape, with water and land creatures toward the bottom ends and sky creatures toward the top. 

The dragon is at the center and is worked sideways so it will show as upright when you wear it. 

The scarf is worked in double knitting, so the colorwork appears in the opposite colors on the other side. 

It’s worked in light fingering weight yarn (on size 0 US or 2mm knitting needles) and the colorwork is shown in charts. The pattern also includes some video tutorials and written instructions to help you along. The designer says the pattern is for intermediate knitters, and “advanced beginners may succeed with patience and the help of the video tutorials.”

When I was an advanced beginner this kind of a pattern would have brought me to tears, but if you love a challenge, and a project that you’ll wear and get tons of astonished reactions every time, this is the project for you. And of course if you have a few double knitting projects under your belt and are comfortable reading charts, this project shouldn’t be hard, but that doesn’t mean it’s fast. But lots of great things take time, and that’s never stopped us before, right? 

You can get a copy of this pattern from Monstra & Mirabilia on Ravelry.
