This is how I managed the 2 balls of yarn without tangles or cat ingestion. I got these bottle "cozies" at Albertsons in the $1.00 bin. I used them for the 2 socks on 2 circular needles and for the double stranded clapotis. They work great!

Finished Clapotis
I knit this Clapotis with Just under 3 hanks of Knit picks Shimmer double stranded in Turquois Splendor. It is going to be a gift for my lovely Mother-in-Law. I knit it exactly according to the pattern except that the yarn is doubled.

Finished Kitty Pi
Here is the finished Kitty Pi! I love how it came out. I used Caron Felt-it in the color Heather (on sale this week at Hobby Lobby for $2.22 per ball) with some kind of eyelash yarn in a rasberry color for the edges. It took 3 balls 93 yds per ball and just enough out of a 4th ball to do the last round. I made it a good 20 rounds bigger than the pattern as I have a full figured kitty! I also just went to smaller needles instead of decreasing as I was using my Denise interchangeble needles and I wanted th sides to be fairly stiff. I am going to make another out of Lion brand wool as kitty likes to vary her napping spots and this was such a quick and easy thing to make!
Nicely filled out Kitty Pi
You can see why I had to make an xtra large Kitty Pi-this Kitty is 15 lbs!
Attack Cat!
Here is Kitty enjoying her new bed. She looks like she is about to attack but really she comes running whenever she sees the camera.
Finished Socks
Here are my finished Socks!! They are the 1st ones I have done 2 at a time on circular needles. I wore them all day and they stayed up even when I ran on the treadmill. I combined techniques, using a turkish cast on, the heel flap from Diamante did my own little fancy ribbing on the top and used a russian bind off.
