Hello everyone it feels like forever since i last posted. So much has happend since the start of the semester a few weeks ago. I love my RA position and my residents are great (so far lolz). Ive been really busy with classes and work but of course i am still hardcore knitting. It was my friends birthday last week and i wanted to give her a hand knitted gift, so of course i turne to ravelry for my pattern needs and was greatly rewarded. I stumbled upon a pattern called Stuffies by Ysolda Teague and thought it was the cutest thing ever. So i casted on the kitty pattern in black yarn. Since it has been along time since i used dpns it was a rough start but i kept going. Once i had all the pieces knitted and ready for stuffing, i used a little DIY ingenious and instead of buying a bag of stuffing i went to my local thrift store and bought an old pillow and took the stuffing from there XD ingenious i kno lolz. Well i stuffed the kitty and sewed on all the paws and such, but then i noticed that you could see the stuffing through the knitting.
Hmmm so of course i tried to sew a few strand of yarn in between the stitching so that the stuffing could be hidden, but that dint work and now my kitten had a bunch of C sections every were 0_o.
But my friend loved him all the same and she was very happy with it.
Well I still dint feel like ive done the pattern justice after my first try so i went back to the needles and casted on for a second kitty!!
His name is Yuki meaning snow in Japanese !!!XD!!!
