I suddenly remembered that a friend I was seeing over Christmas has her birthday in January and had requested a cat. She’d actually requested a specific one but could I heck as find the book the pattern was in, so I whipped up an Amiguruthi original for her instead. Originally posted on my Amiguruthi blog.
