Here are my Halloween slip-stitch cats. They took a good portion of Sunday and three hours yesterday to graph. If you know about slip-stitch, then you know that there must be a stitch to slip in order for the pattern to work. And since you carry only one yarn across a row and slip the other, it varies every two rows. Thus round things and curves are very difficult.
But all in all, I love this pattern. It is all mine and I worked very hard to get the tails in the center to curve in a neat way. I also think they look kinda spooky and if you look at them long enough you see other things...or is that because it is 5 am?
Now hopefully the rest of the sweater will design itself. *grin*
Happy crafting,

If I look at them one way, I see cats, and if I look at them the other way, I see flames. It's a neat effect!
Looks great!!
Enjoyed the write-up on the cats.
