Amigurumi Cat Reviewed by Jezzie Fulmen on 2009-02-28 *****
This was my second crochet project and it came out great. I made it for my girlfriend, whose nickname is Cat, during a rough time. I made it out of yarn that I inherited from my girlfriend's grandmother, stuffed it from items that were meaningful to the two of us, and wrote up a card with all the origins of the yarn and stuffing.
