Catty

This pretty yarn came to my house yesterday with a request to make a pair of mittens for a crafty friend. A lovely soft Merino yarn which will be very nice to work with.

Guess that isn't catty at all - but do you see something else in the picture above?

Inspired by this little kitten hanging out in the garden.

I decided to stitch this kitten on this pretty fabric with a soft vine print.

Cat from Anni Downs book Simple Pleasures. This little book contains a number of stitch designs and little projects with instructions to increase the design size for some. I decided this one would look good on the bag featured in the book.

Having fun with needle and thread.

Hope this week is productive in your craft space too.
