sam the cat

Last week I had a good friend over, and I was showing her this book, and how cute the cat was. The book is filled with cute photographs of different coloured amigurumi cats in all sorts of positions, and instructions for crocheting them in Japanese. The problem is I don’t know how to crochet or read Japanese. That’s where she stepped in, and with the aid of the internet she surprised me with:

He’s so amazing and cute, I’ve taken it everywhere with me! Unfortunately, I did not have a camera with me until I got home, but then I took lots of pictures while trying to construct a gingerbread robot.

That’s Sam pondering all the candy we were decorating our robots with. I’m not sure if Sam’s a girl or a boy, but I’m pretty sure Sam’s going to want me to knit a bikini for him/her in the summer, so we’ll see. Gingerbread robots turn out to be a 3 day project. And I’m not sure if the head is too big, because it’s alreayd put a dent in the body, and fallen off. There is an attempt to reattach the head after reinforcements dry.

Last night I also dyed a bit more yarn for my mystery gift project, which I will be giving away tomorrow.

But in case you were curious about the colour, that’s approximately the red-orange. I think my monitor is a bit too bright (it’s at least brighter than almost every other monitor I use), so it’s difficult. I just need to sew a bit up. I’ll post pictures soon!
