Wee woolies.



Black cats may conjure up thoughts of Halloween for you,
but with snow already on the ground!!!  it's looking more like
Christmas up north.......



Evening view from under the shelter of our porch roof.
It looks as though winter is here to stay.



Anyhoo, it's time to start thinking of Christmas presents,
and I've got an idea for my knitting friends.

I wasn't feeling particularly creative over the past few months,
but when I spotted this book......


I couldn't wait to get knitting again!


Of course it appealed to my childish nature.  And talk about
instant gratification- I can whip up a sweater in no time that
somebody's actually going to wear!


I made a few changes to the cat pattern (stockinette stitch, color
variations, and pink inner ears) and I gave her a set of pretty
aquamarine glass eyes from my eyeball stash.  I've yet to hear a
 single complaint that her wool sweater is itchy or scratchy.


Each animal pattern in the book also includes a pattern for a....



....baby!!!!!

They're rather fiddly to knit and sew together,
but they're just so darn cute!



Kitty is a little fussy, but she quiets down when Mama keeps her close.





Little fingers need help to strap on the baby carrier.




Kitty's even got a Moses basket to snooze in when Mama's busy.


But kitty's in the baby carrier, so who's sleeping in the basket?




Why it's Baby Panda tucked under a pink blanket with her nonny in her mouth!
(A special request by Finley, a former nonny addict.)






If Panda looks a little top heavy, it's because I mistakenly knit her arms
with 6 stitches instead of 4, but that's our little secret.
Kung Fu Panda.





A happy blended family.




You know I didn't stop at one family.





woof.

Gotta love those puppy ears!

The dogs have a new home with Maggie,
but I've still got a few accessories to finish up for her....
and requests for more baby animals for both girls.
Maggie has an obsession with woobs (aka wolves), so maybe
the dog head with cat ears....I'll see what I can do.

If you're a knitter and have little ones to please,
this book's a winner!

Thanks for visiting!

  4. Oh.my.goodness. Vickie, these are just waaaay too cute. This makes me want to play with dolls, er....animals. Seriously. I have this thing for tiny little sheep, but those mamas with babies are really, really adorable. Your grands must be in heaven. You're so creatively talented.
    And you, my friend, with snow already! It's pretty to look at....somewhere else! We still have leaves just peaking in color here today. Not ready for snow yet!
