...now that the head is pretty much finished...I moved on to the four legs...starting with the 'boots' in off-white...
...I just love the meticulous shaping on these little feet...she even includes the little knuckles...
...and this back leg...
...they are so realistic...
...I'm making each of the boots a different height...because I think in real life they aren't usually equal...
...the two front legs...I'm also staggering the stripes a little bit and not making just a full row of the darker colour...because again, in real life they aren't usually just straight bands...
...all four legs...
...and like the unicorn you start the body with the underbelly...and Big Sissie wants the belly to be white...
...I attached the legs and switched to the orange (actually called 'carrot')...and I'll be doing vertical stripes along the body as well...it's a lot more trouble but the end result will hopefully be more realistic...a lot of the Tabby Cat patterns that I looked at had the body crocheted in a tube with horizontal row stripes and then the legs attached afterward...and I prefer the shaping of this kitten with the body made all in one piece...
...what's in your workbasket this week?...
~Have a lovely day!
