Notes

4/25/15 - Got this book for Christmas and really excited to finally be ready to start knitting my first cat!

8/8/15 - I have been plugging away faithfully on this project but decided to take a hiatus from doing something that requires such intense focus. Will pick up again though!

01-13-2017

Christmas present 2015, started in 2016, got one-third done and bailed. Picked up again at the start of 2017 and finished 1/13/17!

This was a tough pattern mostly because of the color work. Of course I couldn’t pick a pattern out of the book that was a solid color cat! But in the end it all worked out well. I did make some changes to how the face was done.

I’m very proud I finished this! It was really tough.
