Don't fall off your chairs because you see a picture of knitted kittens on my blog. Allergic or not, these are too darn cute not to make. This pattern is called "Three Cozy Kittens" from a new book by Lorna Miser (formerly of Lorna's laces) called Faith, Hope, Love, Knitting. I am using Cinnabar, a Louisa Harding yarn, that has a wonderful tweedy look to it (not so easy to find in a cotton blend). It's the same yarn we used to make the "Daphne Purse" on the cover of Knitting Little Luxuries. I love the look of Cinnabar in a seed stitch (one of my favorite stitches) and looking forward to embroidering the face and tying the cutest ribbon I can find around kitty's neck (and I promised Melody "not too tight").
Love this! So happy to finally see you blogging. I look forward to a stream of updates from your world of fiber.

ReplyDeleteYay, your first blog post! Looking forward to lots o' pretty pictures of yarny goodness. (This is Sherri, who took the Daphne purse class with you; you had to do the cast-on for the handles for me!)
