Kitty

[redpanda]

Hello everyone! I just wanted to share this little critter I made a couple weeks ago. Someone on one of my LJ communities had posted this cat before. I've had this Sugar'n Cream yarn that I've wanted to make a little marmalade cat out of for months, and this pattern looked perfect for it.





It's hard to see, but it's got felt eye patches. I got the lovely green cat eyes from Suncatcher Eyes.


I added some felt paw pads and a felt belly, which I embroidered (badly) with my initials. My first embroidery!


Pattern: Fat Kitty by Jennifer Reeve

Also, I'm Moongate on Ravelry if anyone wants to be friends over there.

Oh, cool! I'd been wondering if multicolored yarn would make a good cat. Mmm, cotton--I'll bet that kitty is nice and soft.

I think it really depends on the yarn...the one I saw that inspired this cat used an interesting gray-pink yarn and it looked pretty neat. This yarn really made me think of a marmalade or calico cat, and I'm glad it worked out so well! I've been wondering in a self-striping yarn might work for a tabby...
