MY AVALON

A while back I decided that I needed to make myself a big cat.  I made all those little Amineko cats, and I loved them.  But I really wanted to make a large cat.  So I went to Yarntastic Fiber Arts  (my favorite yarn store) and a I found this beautiful baby alpaca chunky yarn, made by Cascade Yarns.  I used the large Amineko crocheted cat pattern from the book, My name is Amineko.  I decided that my cat needed to have a sweater too, so she would never be cold!  It is winter, you know?

Here's my kitty sitting in our rocking chair.

 Now, baby alpaca yarn isn't cheap, and if I'd have known how many skeins it would take to make this little lovely, I might've chosen another less expensive yarn.  But, I didn't, so all told, Miss Avalon cost me about $120 to make.  But, she was worth it.  She is so soft and wonderful, and completely huggable, and she's mine, all mine!

I named my kitty Avalon after a character Cyndi Lauper played on the TV show, Bones.  I really like Cyndi Lauper!

I hope you like my Avalon.  She's the most well-behaved cat ever!
