Another Amigurumi

When I was at Jenni and Corey's house for General Conference on Sunday, I was browsing around at different amigurumi that people have made. I found a doll pattern here. But instead of making a doll I decided to make a cat. I did change the shape of the body since I didn't like the egg shape the pattern called for.

This is the biggest amigurumi that I've made ever. He's 25" from ear tip to toe. It also gave me a chance to use the green cat safety eyes that I bought recently. I really liked making this one. I just didn't like making the stripes with the yarn I chose. I had leftover from the monkey and hippo that I made for Jared. It's really hard to count stitches with. So I improvised some stitch-marks with a safety pin and a sewing pin. The black was a lot easier to count stitches by I used a safety pin as a marker still.

I started him on Sunday and finished him in the early hours of this morning. I didn't know that the pattern was designed to make such a big guy. However, I am happy with what came out. ^^
