365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

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.
