mohair cat

You may remember I knitted a cat which I tried to make look like my little Gizmo. Well, I thought it was time I made a Tiggy too. I have this looped mohair wool in just the right shades(or so I thought). Mel has moved into her own little house with Alyssa after living with us for the past couple of months, and, as Tiggy was really her cat I thought this would be the ideal 'pet' for her. Somehow my plans didn't quite work out. The yarn (which is gorgeously soft) just doesn't seem to look right so please forgive the pics. On one photo (not posted) the poor creature looks more like Basil Brush or one of the Royal Corgis!!! If Tiggy had been a tortoiseshell this might bear a little more resemblance - never mind, enough of the mohair left for a cardi for me (if I ever get it made.........)
