June Cat

I am posting this late and back dating it to when I actually finished this particular cutie. He is a present for a friend with a June birthday. And a tuxedo cat named Romeo. Since I won’t be seeing her till the end of the month ….

The pattern is …. June Cat from Happiness is Heart Made. Stitched with DMC (the substitution from specialty floss) on 16/18 ct Aida.  The finished size will easily fit in a 5×7 frame.  I started her right before the weekend and worked on it while at the LA retreat.

I have the series. I don’t think I will do any more. I am not a far of multiple small figures with excessive color changes….

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
