She is a black and white kitty, knitted with mohair.  This turned out to be harder then the other ones.

On the other hard, it hides any mistakes!<\/p>\n<p>I first tried to follow the same basic pattern as the other kitties.  Unfortunately, knitting in a white nose just wasn&#8217;t working out.  The white mohair I had was thinner then the black.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/images\/1:28:nose.jpg\" alt=\"cat nose\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I took this out and decided to knit a separate piece that would become the sewed on nose.  I finished up everything else and when I stood her up, I had a serious case of mushy feet.  The black mohair knitted up into a great (for this purpose) dense fabric.

I forgot I had these.  My stash is mostly single buttons, which rarely turn out to be useful. Now that I look at the picture though, I think I need to adjust the eye placement a bit&#8230; something looks skewed to me.  Tomorrow I will post pictures of her dressed.  I made another little crocheted hat and it is drying right now after starching and blocking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am finishing up kitty #4.
