<\/a>Something besides Emily art today. Knitting content!<\/p>\n

Pattern: Knitted Kitty by Lilian<\/a> (warning: pattern contains profanity)
\nYarn: Blue Sky Alpaca sportweight<\/a>
\nNeedles: #5 (3.75mm)<\/p>\n

<\/a>Bertha at http:\/\/karmakitties.com\/ sent Emily a care package in December. I knew some things I wanted to send her, like Koigu, but based on her blog, everybody who sends her packages includes some kind of really beautiful thing for her toddler. I got intimidated! There were any number of things I could send, but I honestly didn’t have the time to knit something worthy. So I procrastinated and procrastinated, as I am wont to do. Finally it had gotten to the point where it was just shameful, and I had to send something. I finally abandoned my plans for sweaters and darling little original hats in favor of a very cute and easy pattern so I could get something in the mail to her already.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

This was an incredibly easy pattern. You don’t even have to know how to purl. If you can knit a rectangle, you can make this cat. You make three little panels, then seam them up and stuff them. Voila. Cat.<\/p>\n

The eyes are spare embroidery thread, and the nose is leftover pink alpaca. I’m a little concerned that I didn’t fasten them securely enough, but I trust Bertha to be able to fix them if they come undone.<\/p>\n

I’m told that June is quite happy with the cat, so it looks like this was a good choice. I’m hapy to have a new pattern to add to my repertoire. Quick, easy, and cute – just how I like ’em!
