Work in progress

This week’s progress on my ripple throw has been slow… Ive been distracted by other things.

Here’s a shot of how its looking this week- you might not see much difference from last week because its only three rows wider *sigh*… projects that take a long time aren’t really my strong suit.

Its snuggly though!

So literally the minute we get home Maia is dragging me down to the sewing cupboard and pulling out my fabric stash rifling through it looking for perfect cat material.

Anyway, this is what we came up with.  Please use your imagination, it is a cat, I promise you.

Maia named her’s Kitty Cat, and it needed a bow to make it more ‘girly’.

But despite his terrible name and unfortunate style, he has been much loved!

In fact, they both have…

Watch this space, Im creating a crochet version as we speak.

But right now Im going to head on over to Gingerbread Girl and check out the progress on everyone else’s One a Day project.

Hope you’ve had a productive week!
