A Very Serious Cat

While I was working on him, I was thinking that he looked like a serious business cat. Maybe it is the dark grey wool flannel.

I gave him a tie, not a bow tie, because he is serious!

And now you can see his vest- I am pretending it is fair isle knit :-)

Is anyone watching Game of Wool on YouTube? I know there has been a lot of hate directed toward it, but I am especially enjoying seeing what the knitters are wearing. It is inspiring me!

This fellow is my 97th of the year. I am going to try to finish 3 more things next week so I can get to 100!

Fox Gone Fishin’

It has been more then 3 years since I made any foxes so obviously it’s about time. I am working on foxes and cats right now. The clothing is mostly the same size so it works.

He has a blue cashmere sweater to pop against his orange “fur”. He has a fisherman’s vest, a bag with fish, and a fishing pole.

He is made of an orange wool knit sweater so he is kind of squishy.

I’ve got some news!

My friend, Robert Mahar, has invited me to teach at his creative retreat in Sonoma, California, next October. I’ve known Robert since the early days of blogging and he was tremendously encouraging when I was at a stage of my dollmaking, wondering if anyone would really be interested in my creations. He has been doing cool things for the last 20 years and I have no doubt that I will have a blast at his retreat! Check out Well Crafted Sonoma 2026 and maybe add it to your Christmas list :-)

In the meantime, Thanksgiving is over, dishes are washed, Christmas carols are playing and I am back in my studio. I am currently working on a pile of kitties and foxes. There is snow in the forecast so I will snuggle in and get some work done!
