Little Kitten Finger Puppet!

My friend Aoife, a talented animator and artist (whose work you can see here) made me this adorable little finger puppet. He is so tiny that he sleeps in a matchbox! Isn't he sweet?

Aoife didn't use a pattern to make this little fellow, but there are quite a few patterns for cat finger puppets online if you'd like to give them a try. Here's a knitted one and a crocheted one.

I'm sorry this post is so brief, I'm writing my LLM dissertation at the moment and must get back to it. No more procrasti-blogging can be tolerated!

Knitted Kitteh

Awww! Look at the little kitteh! It's rather adorable isn't it? I knitted this little fellow for my friend Beth. It is an incredibly easy pattern both to knit and to sew up. I made the entire thing in less than two hours. Awesome eh?  

Here's a link to the pattern if you would like to try it out! It's so very quick and easy that I would strongly recommend it. I used googley eyes and a little heart button for the nose but there are other ways of doing his face as you can see here. It's a very versatile pattern and you could quickly and easily make a whole family of kittehz. Oh yes.

This pattern is perfect for beginners. Aside from a little bit of shaping for the head, it's just straight up knitting. It's great if you're new to knitting and want to graduate beyond the scarf. Take the leap I say, knit a cat!

                                         

                                     

I hope you're all having a lovely week so far and enjoying the summer sunshine!
