A new crochet project: Orphaned kitten sweaters

 As some of you might remember, I've been crocheting cat beds for the local shelter for several years. It's a nice project, relaxing while I watch tv. However, our friend Connie sent a suggestion to me: Would I be willing to crochet sweaters for orphaned kittens?

After seeing the blog post, the answer was yes!

I've started making The Millie, the smallest size, and have made four so far. I found a small plushie to model one for you.*




*Note that this one doesn't have Velcro sewed on just yet.


If you're interested in trying this, here is the blog post with instructions.

Here is information about the organization.

I love everything about this--kittens benefit and I get warm fuzzies by making them.

That's adorable! The kittens must feel so safe and warm and snuggly when they wear those. What a wonderful thing you're doing!

That is so sweet of you to do. It looks like something I could handle crocheting so I will go over and get the pattern. Thanks for sharing. XO

Interesting, but am having a hard time picturing kittens patient enough to put up with sweaters. :-)
