Oh, to have the life of a cat. Where the only big question of the day is whether to lazily slumber on the couch or the footstool.
The only big question I am facing is whether to continue making 11 more blocks for this Cat & Mouse blanket -- or to just call it a day and finish this block for a pillow.
.
I got the pattern from this magazine:
....but it can also be found here.
My only misgiving about continuing this as a blanket is the heaviness when done. If a project weighs more than my refrigerator when finished (and that happens a lot!) I get all frustrated and shove the thing in the back of my closet. Soft & drapey has to be the end result -- or it will never get used.
Okay. This finished kitty is so adorable (yes, to my husband's horror -- I could easily become that Crazy Cat Lady....) and with the added mouse border that is included with this pattern...
,
....well, this might just become a blanket instead of the pillow.

I wish I was a cat in your house ! ;-)
Cute, cute, cute! I thought of you this morning - I carried the purse you made for me to church as I often do. It's grown soft and fuzzy over the time I've had it and is almost like a much loved blanket. It is a treasure to me. Thank you again. blessings, marlene
Oh this is sooo cute!! Love it!
How adorable is this ... a blanket would be amazing!
I don't even care for cats, but that is the cutest Dawn!
That is so cute!! I like that you used black & white yarns, so eye-popping! I think if you made 4/6/8 squares and sew them tog like a panel you could make them as a wallhanging. Just a suggestion...can't wait to see when you're finished :)
Absolutly adorable...what a great project...you made a wonderful first block..what ever you decide its going to look awesome!!
greetings Francien.
Oh is it cute! I think it has to be a blanket......and I love the doily!

I hope you finish it as a blanket and do the mouse border....so cool!
at last!
My computer seemed to be objecting to your beautiful pictures - silly machine :(
this cat is great - my kids would badger me to make this for them - i can picture the pattern in so many colour ways - such neat stitches as always !
should keep an eye out for the magazine - we are usual two months behind
Oh oh, the yummy things you make!! SwoonXX
