St Claire

While the weather outside is dull and dripping we had an inside picnic here today.
St Claire came out to play and in true cat style tried to unravel my knitting, she certainly had lots of fun playing and is now resting quietly. She really is a fun character, her face just makes her look a bit grumpy.
The design is Pounce from Chris Cotton of Gemini Bears. She is really simple to make with only a neck joint, including her tail which naturally curls up she is 14" long and stands on her paws at around 7" I made mine in a medium synthetic fur.
Run over and say Hi to Melody to see who else has brought their friends out to play today.
My new toys (previous post) are for making pompoms, I am not convinced they are easier to use than the cardboard version but it means I don't need to find a box to cut the circles from.
Hope your week has been fun so far.

Smart girl Pounce staying indoors...it's freezing out there even for those with fur coats...brrrr...
So, I guessed right! Do I win, huh, huh, do I, do I?? Guess not given it wasn't actually a competition!! *LOL*

HI Tracey. Pounce does look like there could be a bit of fun and mischief. The pattern has really captured the character of a cat. Enjoy the picnic.

St Claire is very cute and looks like he had fun with your knitting. I hope not to much unraveling was done.
