Cats and Doilies



Those of you who follow my blog know I have a soft spot for cats and doilies, today I have both for you.



This little ballerina cat is 15 cm tall ad is made in cotton just right to fit into a little one’s hand.  I made her a couple of weeks ago and she got very lonely and when I saw a picture of a large amineko cat done in long variegated yarn on Pinterest, I followed the link and just had to make a friend.


I used a cotton acrylic mix, Summer stripes by Sirdar.  I think I will be making more of him!  The pattern can be found here -https://amigurumi.today/large-ami-cat-crochet-pattern/

Now to the doilies!

While on Pinterest (isn’t it a wonderful site, but one that sucks away your time, lol.) I saw some doilies by Grace Fearon, So I investigated her website and she had several free patterns, which I duly downloaded and found myself doing two doilies over the last week!  I love her patterns they are highly textured.

This is Grace Fearon's website if you want to have doily eye candy.

I hope that your weather is better than ours, we have had winter return this past week, hopefully it will improve this coming week, anyways it is a great day snuggling up in front of the fire with coffee and crochet, just like my friends here.




I hope you have a wonderful creative week.
