Crochet Cats in Sweaters

 

A couple of cute crochet kitties in sweaters!

Yes, I'm getting started early on my Christmas gifts this year so I'm super happy to actually have these started, finished and super cute ready to hide in the gift cupboard.

The cats were supposed to be a bit bigger but the fluffy yarn was just not working with the small stitches, increases & working in the round, so I did the best I could but I still think they look ok compared to the pattern - don't they? 

The crochet pattern is this one.

The gorgeous fluffy yarn is this yarn.

Have you started your present making yet? Have you finished it? Have you even thought about it yet?

Kids lounger pants aka pj's

I sewed the cutest romper for Joe! 

It was supposed to be for outside/day play but due to the print and the options we chose (long sleeves, dropped crotch) we decided that they'd be best for pj's. He loves them as pjs, absolutely loves them!

He's requested another pair in a bolder print with a higher crotch & no sleeves for day wear. 

The pattern is this one.

The type of fabric is this type.
