Amineko -The Crochet Cat


Wondering what to do ???


Getting bored.


Showing off!!!


I'm so cool.


It's a hard life being a cat.


My friend.

This cat is so cute, poseable and can be made in a day. They are lots of fun and I think I will make some more and maybe experiment with stripes, thickness of yarn which will change the finished size, design some clothing and play around with the facial expressions. Should be fun!

Finally Finished

Yes, the blanket from the last post in January (where has the time gone?) is finally finished. I had a chuckle to myself when I re-read what I had said about the size,  probably only lap size. Well, it grew into something much bigger. 61 1/2" or 156cm. Big enough to sit nicely on a queen size bed. 

Now you may be wondering why this project has taken so long to complete. That would be because I had it nearly finished and then I pulled most of it apart and re-did it. Yep, you could say I'm mad but I was not at all happy with it. It was all squewed and pulled in different directions that no amount of stretching was ever going to sort out so it all came undone, down to the big centre block of squares and I started again. Starting again also gave me a chance to rearrange the colour sequence of the rows around the centre and I'm much happier with how it goes now.

Take a look.





                                   

                                   


For now it has been folded and put away for someday but if anyone is interested in having this big snuggly blanket it is available for purchase.
