This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

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.
