I thought I would share the black cat again now that I've finished knitted the clothes for the soft toy cat and now that I've finished stitching up the soft toy black cat that I knitted to look similar to my yarn keeper and warden Mischief.

About the project
I love cats and wanted to make a soft toy to go in my office, I'd had this pattern on my to knit list for quite a while and I'm so happy it's finally finished. I'm going to make another few of the animals for the little master crafters once they decide which ones I should knit for them.
I created the cat to look similar to my cat Mischief who is my yarn keeper, making sure the faeries and the little wizards don't get the yarn and play with it or steal it for their own stash. Her other job is as a warden to guard the studio though she can be found sleeping on the job, she often naps on the lounge chair where I put the knitted soft toy cat. When she isn't in here she can be found up a tree in the secret garden or in the forest.

The soft toy cat sits on the lounge chair in the studio, where I often sit, knit and create and also where mischief naps of course.
