Kitten V. Kristin's Knitting Basket

I've woken up every day for the last week to the following scenes of destruction and cat happiness....resulting in hours of patiently untangling yarn. 

You would think I would have learned after the first time.....

To my credit, I did try several different methods of covering and/or hiding the yarn.  The kitten is just that darn smart.

However, learn I finally did, or rather the cat finally won, and the yarn is now safely tucked back away in my corner of the basement.
