A new housemate: Amineko Cat

Hello all!
About a year ago, I received a wonderful gift in the mail: My friend Anne from Manly/Australia knew I was having a very tough time and send me a crochet book.

Aren't these cats adorable?


Since then I wanted to make one of these but only now (a year later), I got around to it. Anyway, may I introduce you to my Amineko cat? I went in spirals instead of closed rounds. The pattern asked for the later but I misread. Well, that is, I didn't read that part. I figured that it would go in spirals since is was an Amigurumi. I don't think it makes much difference and there is no seam. A win-win situation!

Looks like I will make more of these cats too. I ordered cotton yarn (4ply) and will transform some of it into cats. First my finger needs to heal though. I cut stuff for pizza and well, slicing the onion didn't work out as I intended too. Sighs.
How did you spend your weekend?
Take care,
Anne

    1. Thank you! The cats are a lot of fun to make! Because of the special filling they can sit in all kind of different positions - love that!

    1. I did mine in spirals as well, did a little trick though for the color change but it is way prettier crocheting an amineko in spirals so no worries :)
