Forgot to post this last week...so, one of the reasons I wanted to learn how to crochet was to make a little tribute cat for Magic. I bought a small crochet black cat at a craft table at a street fair in Pendleton, Indiana when we got back to the East Coast after we had her put to sleep in 2015. I tried to teach myself to crochet then, failed, got frustrated and quit. Fast forward to 2022, my fingers started hurting constantly and I was more determined to learn how to crochet to keep them limber...most of you know I was way more successful at that attempt, as many of you have one of my crochet critters in your own home. So, I finally decided on a pattern to use to make me a Magic-al critter. Magic was all black with golden eyes, so I decided to nod to her crossing the Rainbow Bridge by giving her rainbow nose and whiskers. What do you think?
