finishing and beginning

.
I spent much of the weekend knitting. I had Monday off for Remembrance Day. I finished off this cute siamese cat who shall be called toy cat in remembrance of boy cat. I am still not thrilled with his face- I can never seem to get faces right on toys- but I love him anyway. It was made with a pattern from very very cute Fuzzy Mitten!

I also FINALLY finished these socks which I started last Christmas. You have seen them in progress on many occaisions -like here or here. I decided I must get them done for Paul's birthday this coming Monday as he had hinted that they should be his socks.

Then I treated myself to some new yarn from Zellers and started a pair of mitts from this mag. I love how these are coming out. I had to lengthen them a weensy bit because my middle finger is too long and I used a slightly smaller needle than required because that's all I had, so they are actually snug and perfect instead of gargantuan and yeti sized like my first pair of mittens- bless them. Speaking of yetis, my brother had the spookiest bigfoot documentary that we watched on the weekend. I believe the sasquatch is REAL!!! They showed the full footage from this famous big foot film and did a close up zoom-
It is real!

:)

Now my brother has gone home to England and there will be no more Yeti movies or coffee breaks for a while- sniffle. We all had a great visit and we'll miss you!

Hi, Tania! Love your cat toy! He is so, so cute! I've got some animals patterns on crochet.. I'd like to have time to knit them.
Kisses!

Toy cat is adorable! A perfect creation for boy cat. Very impressed. The socks and mitten also look very cosy ;-)

A new cat allready? Well, he is sooo cute! Faces/eyes are difficult. Try cutting the white out in felt next time and add a bead or embroidery floss?

Don't let any claws get near that cat though! ;-)
