I normally would post my yarn-y post on Monday, but this worked too well for the letter of the day today, so...
If you were here Monday, you saw my fail. The hole for the tail for the crocheted cat pillow was in the entirely wrong place. It took me a surprisingly short amount of time to fix that (as in, one afternoon). I ripped it all out to the tail hole and then restitched everything.
The tail is now placed correctly. And I rather like how it turned out.
Hopefully it now looks like a cat.
I'm debating embroidering on a face. I'm terrible at embroidery, and I'm not even sure where to start. (The pattern doesn't offer embroidery ideas, only the concept that a face could be added if desired.) But I rather like it like this.
Even the change in yarn at the rear looks okay. At least, I think so.
Now, what to do with the thing? I have no use for it. Any ideas?

ReplyDeleteYou did what you had to do to complete the kitty. As long as you re satisfied with the results :)
I am. I'm just happy that it didn't take as much work as I had been expecting to make the fix.
DeleteA perfect K entry, and a perfectly cute kitty.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteYes, it does look like a cat now! I did think it would have a face, but it's cute without.
ReplyDeleteI haven't ruled out doing a face entirely. What do you think? Should I figure out how to embroider one?
DeleteOh, I think it's cute! And yes, a cat. I like the different color on the ears and end.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteIt’s adorable
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThis looks soft and huggable but I would like a face..but that's me
ReplyDeleteI haven't ruled out doing one. Just haven't attempted it yet.
DeleteI saw "Kitty Cat Complete" and rushed over here. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI like the tail now. It might be improved by a face but you know your strengths, and I would vote for leaving it the way it is. Nice kitty.
ReplyDeleteI might attempt it later.
DeleteHi Liz - well done ... I could never do something like this - and all the best with the decision re creating a face ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteLovely! Love the ears, and the new tail ;) If you want to use it for a useful purpose, not only decorative, you may want to stuff it with sand and make a door or window stop.
ReplyDeleteI think it came out great.
ReplyDeleteIt’s great that you managed to fix the tail issue and ended up with something you’re happy with! The idea of adding an embroidered face sounds fun, but I totally get the hesitation if you’re not confident with embroidery. The cat looks adorable just as it is, though! As for what to do with it, maybe it could make a cute gift for someone, or you could even turn it into a decorative piece for your home, like a cozy pillow for your couch. Either way, it’s a lovely creation!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a couch. I don't have room for decor stuff. As it is, I'm buried under what I do have.
DeleteLove the way the tail curls. Nice work! @samanthabwriter from

Thanks.
DeleteGlad that you are glad with it.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteIt's cute. I know what you mean about embroidering a face, but it would be cute. You could have used safety eyes and a nose if you had thought about it earlier in the project. It's something to think about for a future one.
ReplyDeleteoh wow! this is so adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
