Knit your own cat? :-)

Or perhaps dog:

Think I'll stick to socks, scarves, sweaters and Rover.
Rover really enjoys knitting, or rather catching and eating the yarn. ^_^

And for those of you with a mind in the gutter (welcome, I'll try to make room. ), the last line refers to the amount of yarn. Trust me, I checked.

Oh I agree. But I can't see myself achieving the same likeness. ^^

My awe and admiration of you just bounced up another notch, Mags. I bet you *could* knit them.
They're bought patterns from here:

Peachy Ethknits are still up and running, so they might still have these.

Great minds Mags, I was going to ask that. I quite fancy having a go at the cat for Ceilidh. I'm sure she'd love it.

Re: Knit your own cat? :-)


I think my local wool shop has the book. She stocks allot of Sirdar wool. If she doesn't have it she'll get it.
She's the right old fashioned shop. No till, writes on paper and knows all her customers. Seemingly she's 80ish and keeps the shop going because if she didn't she wouldn't see anyone.

Will let you know later on in the week as I have an Arron to knit.

Wool shops seem to be few and far between in our neck of the woods Jac, it's nice to know one has survived by you!
