A little Cat

I was originally planning on making this cat as a gift for a little girl my oldest daughter goes to preschool with but now my girls and myself are rather taken with the little cat. We call her Shamco. She made out pure wool yarn all from the stash and her nose is some crafting felt from stash too!

The pattern is from the book called "Hello my Name is Amineko: The Story of a Crafty Crochet Cat" by Nekoyama. The pattern was easy to follow even though the directions are not written in the classic North Amercan style. I think if I was a less experienced crocheter it might have been a little intimidating. 

She looks happy in the sun but...

This was the attitude I was given after I walked away.

Once I apologized she returned to her nap.

The designer of Shamco warned that the cat can have attitude. There was also a warning about making these cats being addictive and I can see it - I do want to make more. I feel also my version could have used more body stuffing and less stuffing in the limbs so she would be more poseable.
