craft idea! Kitty blanket!

[hydrolagus.livejournal.com]

A small blanket to put on one's lap to protect the legs from a lap-cat's sharp love. Could be quilted, embroidered, applique'd, fabric-painted; wouldn't need to take a lot of or expensive materials (backing it with recycled denim would be excellent); and a cool version could be done at lots of different skill levels.
I have some mending to get through before I make one, but I sure need one.
