Book Sneak Peek: Knit Your Own Cat
| Posted by Megan Goodacre on Jan 20, 2012 |
Did you see Knit Your Own Dog: Easy-to-Follow Patterns for 25 Pedigree Pooches
And now the same authors have written a sequel: Knit Your Own Cat: Easy-to-Follow Patterns for 16 Frisky Felines
According to the publisher, Black Dog and Leventhal, the book will include patterns for Abyssinian, Maine Coon, Bengal, Orange Cat, Black Cat, Persian, Black & White, Ragdoll, British Shorthair, Siamese, Burmese, Tabby, Devon Rex, Tortoiseshell, Kitten and Turkish Van cats. I think you can advance order on Amazon
The authors Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne run their own knitwear business, Muir and Osborne. They have an upscale shop in London and export their knitwear to stores worldwide and several pieces of their knitwear are in the permanent collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
We'd love to hear from you. Add a comment

| Nobody, regardless of their skill level, could spin much from an Abby, but probably have fab luck w/those Persians & other LONG HAIRS*!* No fleas, please! Tee hee*!* A cute book, but some of them are so Silly looking to me??? Must be something wrong w/my eyes! Obviously, I'm NOT seeing this charming book in the correct light! ENJOY and let's see your creations, please post PHOTO's w/their real counterparts, Please & Thank you*!* RSB* | |

| I definitely will buy a copy to knit my siamese! Love this book. How do I get a copy to give away on my blog to promote it? I will also review it. | |

| Ha, I can't wait to see the cats that people make with this. I just received a copy today, will try out a "Tabby Prowling" first. The most hypoallergenic cat you can get. |

| In an unofficial statement from the publisher, I'm just going to tell you that I know of at least one person currently using her cat's fur* instead of the yarn suggested by Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne in their book! *fleas not included in the sale of each book. |
