Halloween Kitten Reviewed by Theresa Granese on 2010-02-04
Thought would be sweet in lighter colors, so used scraps of Wool-Ease in Grey Heather, Oxford Grey, Black, Mushroom and Wheat to make a tabby kitty. Made blue pupils for the eyes, and a little pink felted toung sticking out. Made fluffy wiskers out of white Homespun, and a little white homespun tuff under chin, on the chest. Came out very well and will be fun to make more ! Thanks for the great Pattern !! :)
