Tortoiseshell Cat among Wool Skeins

A tortoiseshell cat lies between piles of wool, looking out from a mix of black, orange and cream fur. The yarn around it is just as varied. Mustard, teal, burgundy, rust and oatmeal balls fill the foreground and the basket behind. A soft armchair and window light sit in the background.

The half-knitted striped scarf crosses the lower right, still held on wooden needles. Loose strands trail across the table, and a shallow bowl holds buttons, scissors and smaller craft pieces. The cat's face gives the puzzle a strong center, but the real challenge is sorting fur markings from wool shadows. The wicker basket, knitted stitches and wooden tabletop all add different textures.
