Yesterday was doll club, and I wanted to have this kitty finished. I decided it was a boy cat and all the cotton fabrics weren’t working for me.
I’m just not all that excited about the kitty- I have not succeeded in making one that appeals to me as much as the knitted ones I made a while back. What I am still excited about is the robots. I was working on a new one and getting too tight. I decided to just do a bunch of head. I am always inspired by the faces, my favorite part of any doll.
Now that the faces are looking at me, the bodies designs are much clearer in my head. Onward!
wonderful expressions. completely different characters, amazing!
I know what you mean about the knitted cat. This one is not “cute” in the same way that they are, but I do adore him, specially now in his new sweater. He is more of a stray cat, he looks like he’s been in a few fights and seen a lot of things in his life. Like this one:

Oh, but I like Mr. Kitty. He looks so dashing, and for some reason French. Not the suave kind of French, but one who’s seen life and is a bit blase’ about it all while he’s sipping cafe au lait with his buddies. And the robot heads … oooh, too wonderful for words.
I agree… I would want to have a cat like him :-) Not cute, but wonderful. A grown-up cat for grown-ups ;-)
Oh, he’s wonderful, love all the yummy patterns right up close to each other!
Mimi- I love this cat! I always take time to check out your blog and love all of your dolls, but somehow this cat really speaks to me. I need to take some photos of my ersatz doll collection and send them to you. Much love, your niece Kate
