Cat Lovers Swap 2 Gallery

[diosaperdida]

Sorry..been out of town for my Husband's B-Day.
I'm so glad you liked them.
I am amazed at how well you photographed the mini-kitties!
Those cracked me up....they are so little! I had to send some to a cat lover.

Oh hey..I DO have pics of the backs of the sweaters.





Acid green bear doesn't look nearly as nice in them as kitty does.

The color on top is more acurate than the one on the bottom..they are made from the same yarn, so the difference in color doesn't exist.

Well checking today on items I sent out on Saturday
The USPS web site says they were not accepted until yesterday.
Is that becasue I mailed them after hours on saturday?
I wasn't expecting them to get very far over the weekend but, it seems they did not move AT ALL

And DTchick, your package from Cookies is so cute! Can you get another picture of the crocheted kitty? I'm curious to see what it looks like.

I wish I could've taken a pic, but sadly, I'm without a camera or scanner at the moment. 

I used the body pattern from the little animals here:  http://www.sarahanns.com/crochetworks/animals.html

To make a cat, I made up my own ears and tail, and embroidered a cat face.  I left off the arms & legs, since I thought it would be cuter without.

How cute is that hairless cat in its new sweater? 

Thanks for posting the pictures of the backs of the sweaters... that leaf pattern is amazing! I envy your knitting skillz.

Ok, here are the lovely pictures of what I received from KeenKitty!


This picture features (from left to right) the beautiful picture frame, (also pictured below) the Black Cat tote bag (love it!), a bit of leftover felt, a lovely stamped headscarf (that I am currently wearing), an adorable kitty toy (that I need to get action shots of), and a package of Chococat (of Hello Kitty, Sanrio fame).  Now, I have to ask--did someone tell her that I adore Sanrio and especially Chococat?? LOL


This picture features the AWESOME frame with the BEAUTIFUL shrinky dinks, stamps, and felt cutouts.  If you look closely, you'll see the cutest stamp ever of a cat drinking from a toilet...it totally made my week!

Thank you AGAIN KeenKitty!  You're wonderful! 


<edit> ACK!  I hope nobody saw that just a moment ago!  I posted a picture of what Cookies will be recieving very shortly before I realized what I was doing! </edit>

<edit 2>I didn't get any pictures of the magnets!  They're on the fridge currently.  Ms. KeenKitty, if you have a shot or 2, feel free to post them! </edit 2>

Thanks Millik

The leaf pattern is more or less knit and purl with some well placed increases and decreases. I think I found the stitch in Vogue Knitting...two repeats made the right legnth.

Man I wish I could knit cables.

I can straight knit but I can barely remember how many stitches I have made much less how to make a cable!

I recieved from Dtchick today....
Here are the goodies she sent me and my boys
Ok my red duct tape bag with a black cat on each side


Are nifty little glass jar with goodies for the kitties
The jar as etched cats on 2 sides
And on the other 2 sides it says "MEOW"

Inside the jar was Dried home grown cat nip
and home made salmon kitty treats.
My kitties went CRAZY over them.
Gary nornally never cares much for treats but he was attacking the bag as my huddy tried to seal it to put it away.

Thanks so much DTchick
as soon as I can get the boys to settle down I will take pics of them enjoying the treats.
You did a great job on everything

I think I have stickers somewhere just like the cats on that felt. Too cute! I want to see the stamped headscarf - I've been wanting to make myself one for a little while now and am curious to see how one turned out.

And what an adorable bag - you can't even tell from the pictures that it's duct tape!

Haha, I wonder how many people's packages get detained at the post office because of a "green leafy substance"

I'll take another picture as soon as I get home from school.
