Nuigurumi Kitty Craze

I found this one pattern at Craftster. It's in Japanese, so along with my novice-almost-practiced knowledge of sewing softies and my nonexistent education in Japanese, I did the best I could. Thank God the illustrations were very well done.

This is the second kitten I made from that pattern. I enlarged the pattern pieces 170% so I could make "Minnie" for Pebbles/Bella Boo. She wanted this kitty so badly and she decided to name it Minnie.




But the first one I made (below) was quite the challenge. So small. Which is why I decided to enlarge the pattern on the next go around. Anyway, I've give these kitties necks, which the orignal pattern didn't call for. And they are a bit elongated, so my third kitty will be decidely more pudgey and round, with no neck.
Practice, practice.

Wabi Sabi---The Stuffed Kitty Version

This is the kitty I've made, Wabi-Sabi


Here's a side-long view:


He is pink, and he is still a "he." He is neither perfect, nor finished, nor permanent. I'm well aware that he isn't as good looking as the other kitties that have been made from his pattern. I'm trying to be okay with that.

The pattern can be found at Wee Wonderfuls. Just go to the Freebies link on the left-hand side and you'll see a pattern for "Pointy Kitty."
