I made a Kitty Pi today! I went to Knitting Emporium in Kennesaw and picked up some Crystal Palace Iceland (lilac combo). A nice, soft, bulky wool. I wasn't sure how it would felt, but I was very happy with the results....

I made it a little smaller because I knew I wouldn't have enough yarn (I had about 2 yards left over). In the middle I did 20 rounds instead of 30 and then 5 after the decrease instead of 9 and then 3 instead of 5 after the 2nd decrease. Hope my kitty likes it! I like it! :)

P.S. used Lion Brand Fun Fur in a matching blue/lilac for the eyelash on top.
