A friend of mine just welcomed two new cats to her home. I decided it would be a good idea to give the cats a little present to welcome them into their new home. So I took my handy hooks and some scrap yarn and went to work. Truly though, I can hardly call these work.
cat toys
All of the toys above have been made with acrylic yarn, which makes for a good sturdy fabric in which cats can gnaw at will. There’s an octopus, a fish, two mice, and a goldfish. I’m much too lazy to link all the patterns I used here, but you can check them out on my Ravelry projects page.
A few people* have nominated me for a blog award that’s been circulating the blogosphere. I’ve finally decided to participate in the nominating of the award.
The rules are as follows:
1. Please put the award on your blog.
2. Add a link to the person who awarded you
3. You must nominate at least 4 fellow bloggers for this award.
4. Add links to the recipients.
5. Leave a comment so the recipients know they have received an award.
And the nominees are (in no particular order):
- Cookie – Shut Up & Knit
- Karen B. – Yarn Is My Metier
- Lori – From The Wool Room
- Megan – Knitting the Knotty Way
There you have it. That’s how I spent my Wednesday night. Whipping up cat toys and contemplating which blogs to award. I almost skipped the whole thing, but I really think the four ladies above deserve some recognition.
Have a good one folks! Friday is becoming ever less elusive!
