What I've Been Reading Instead of Cleaning My House

Tuesdays with Meow-y* #1

Here is my first cat so far.

The pattern I used is actually for a bear, but I just added a tail and voila, it's a cat!

This one is based on my previous neighbor's cat, "Hat" (named so because they brought it home in a hat). Our cat mauled it once (but it survived), so I feel I need to immortalize it in yarn.

I'm not sure how the button eyes will affect who I can give the cats to (probably NOT children under age 3 for choking reasons).

One down, 51 more to go!

*I know, bad pun based on Mitch Albom's book "Tuesdays with Morrie."

I love your kitties!

SUZI -- I must admit that it looks much cuter in real life. In the photo, it just looks like road kill.

You are so awesome! I thought you were joking when you said you were going to knit 52 cats. I should know better by now :)

Love the hairdo. You want to take a shot at immortalizing my dreadlock cat, Miss Mary? You wouldn't even have to knit. Just tie knots.

JANET -- I don't know if I'll do all 52, but I'm trying!

GEO -- hairdo? Do you mean the cat's hairdo? I love how the yarn makes it look at ratty (like a stray cat). Ooh, Miss Mary would be AWESOME!
