Meow's Adventures!

Hello, this is Meow-Meow! :) I'm Sophia's (imaginativeknits) little stuffed cat. 

Let me describe myself. I'm originally from Omaha, Nebraska (where the company that made me is located). I'm eight (human) years old. I love watching my owner do her crafts. I'm also a contributor to this blog along with my owner, Sophia.

FYI, Sophia posts in VERDANA and I post in TREBUCHET (which is the font showing on this post right now).

This June, we both went through a road trip/adventure through the Northeastern United States and Canada. As you know, our website was deleted and I never got to continue my "Meow's Adventure" series. So I will start off from the beginning on here. The next few posts will be from me, revisiting our trip. :)

Cherry the Bunny

 
Made available March 23rd, 2011 
Cutest. bunny. ever. :) Hope you like it! It's my favorite creation so far. 

Supplies: 
• 1 skein of Sublime Organic Cotton DK (50 gms= 120 yds): colorway- 96 bone

INSTRUCTIONS: 
I believe these instructions are fairly simple for the intermediate knitter. Although you MUST know how to knit with DPNs to do this pattern. 

And yes, I have no indication of how many stitches you should have each row. I don't since: 1. It's free! and 2. If you know me I'm too lazy to write it down anyways. xD 

Also, stuff the body, head, arms and legs before you thread through the remaining stitches.

Introduction

Hello everyone! :) 


This is the first post on my new Blogspot blog for Imaginative Knits. My old website (http://meow.sindlene.net) somehow went to the world wide web graveyard and no one can see the patterns I've posted on that website (or the website at all as a matter of fact). :( It makes me kind of sad because here I am: back to where I started with basic templates. This will take some adjusting to. I wish I could afford my own website domain and to keep it, but that will have to wait a while. So this is a temporary fix for people wanting to see any of my patterns. :)
