This week I have been busy with a custom order of a Family of white Mohair Cats. I had such fun working out the dimensions for the different kittys, and Kye loved them so much, that I think I will make him some for Christmas:) I posted them off to their new home in Canada yesterday. I knitted them in a soft brushed mohair and mama cat stands a proud 7 inches tall. I so enjoyed making up this order:)
Happy Saturday to you all…
Linda
They are darling. And what adventures they may have as they travel to their new home! I am sure they will arrive with many stories to share.
Your cat family is beautiful, Linda. The mohair yarn is just perfect for kitties.
Those are just beautiful Linda.
Warm wishes,
Tonya
What wonderful kitties. i recently knitted a kitty for my little girl in alpaca and let’s just say it seems to be shedding like a real kitty. But it is so incredibly soft and wanted to make it extra special.
Your new cats are beautiful with that lovely, soft mohair!
Aww those kitty cats are just adorable. You’re just so talented Linda.
So sweet Linda, beautiful and delicate. I love the mohair.
i love your work….but my mother -in-law decided that the blue bird you knitted was a dog toy…are you willing to allow another blue bird into our home.
What precious kitties. I can see why Kye loved them so. And I am sure they will find a happy home in Canada.
Blessings, Elizabeth
I love the cats and the hedgehog. They are just so adorable. So lovely.
Hello Linda,
I recently tried making the same pattern for my daughter’s Playgroup classroom. However I only started knitting this year (well since I was 10) and I just went with two squares…
My body looks pretty much like yours.
But.
My head looks a little like Frankenstein’s cat!
Could you give me some pointers on how to finish off the head neatly – if you DID use a square, and how to attach said head onto the body.
I wish I had taken some pics – but I gave kitty to the teachers at the end of term as a thank you gift.
I’m wondering if they’ll let the kids near her?
Linda, those kittys are absolutely beautiful!! I love cats so much, I’ll have anything to do with cats. I would be very interested to know if you can make more kittys or have an instruction on how to make them. They are so lovely, I’d do almost anything to have them for myself. Mohair is a purrfect choice of fabric, your very talented!! =)
Dear Sophie,
Thank you so much:)
I would be happy to make them for you, you can email me at lindadawkins@mweb.co.za to discuss.
Take care
Linda
