Would you consider sending me the pattern for your black and white cat? I am desperate to find a knitting pattern for a cat. My daughter wants one for xmas. Thank you.

Yes, I use pins to hold the stuffing in place in the nose… I have started using safety pins after too many bloody heads from straight pin injuries! I start stuffing the head until it is shaped but still pretty soft. I use forceps to stick a wad of stuffing right in the nose, put a pin in, then finish stuffing. I then needle sculpt the nose and everything stays in place.
Before doing this, I always had wrinkles in the nose because the stuffing would not stay where I put it!

So you use safety pins for pre-forming the nose?

I picked up that issue as well, just when I was about to give up on that mag. I really like the idea of that doll, but the price is a bit out of reach. I’ll just have to stick to clothing the dolls I’ve got, such as Bluette or Tyler Wentworth.
