I finished the amigurumi cat. I have named him (well, he was named from the start, unlike some of the critters I make) Oliver Donald Piano.

Or O. Don Piano for short.



The pattern if from the "Kyuuto: Amigurumi" book. I used a boucle yarn (I think it was from Bernat; I picked it up at the Michael's in my parents' town). The eyes are "Suncatcher" eyes; I picked them specifically because they matched the inspiration for the cat, and the nose is a vintage button.

I did make the back legs and tail longer than the pattern suggested; they were awfully stumpy otherwise.

I named him what I did because of this:



(That makes me laugh EVERY TIME I see it. I know the cat isn't happy - apparently it is growling at another one of the cats in its household - but it still strikes me funny every time.)

I can't remember if the video in question ever actually appeared on Cute Overload (because a growling cat, while funny, is not exactly cute), but I'm still digging out the 'cute overload in amigurumi form' tag for this.




Why I eyes ya!
