This *possibly may be*  the only gift I plan on knitting for the holidays this year. I started with a Louisa Harding pattern, a very simple pattern indeed, thinking for a first-time toy knitting, I couldn’t go wrong.  Ah, but I couldn’t help myself from changing it all around… so this is a very modified version.  I used up some left over pima cotton boucle yarn from her baby blanket I made almost 3 years ago, and stuffed it with a bit of wool fleece I had in my loft closet…not bad for a first toy , eh?  Kitty is purring and ready to go to Nora for Christmas!

I was up against a decision just before Nora’s kitty was finished:  1. Spend from now until xmas knitting gifts, or 2. Design fun new things!  Though in recent years not my first choice, but gifts can always be bought , so  I am choosing to work on new ideas through the holidays instead. ::sigh of relief::  ((however, this doesn’t prevent me from giving away my prototypes…lol)

Coming up: Another something to add to the ” Vineyard Rows” ensemble, as well as another thing from a ways back… in blue !
