365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Three Little Kittens
Day 86: The Three Little Kittens are done. The base hat is a slightly longer variation of an original cloche pattern, and the ears went through several phases of development before I was satisfied. The first ones (modelled by Tippy on January 1) were too small. I widened them by four stitches without making them any taller for the results you see here. I'm thinking this would translate well into a fox if I used rust-orange yarn and white ear liners, maybe even adding a white-tipped tail on the back. Unless I make a "blue-point Siamese" version before the Women's March, the grey one will be mine. The other two will be given to friends who march on January 20.
