Title: Your cat hand knitted as a Christmas tree decoration
Post by: souffle on November 19, 2013, 20:28:15 PM
This auction is for a beautiful hand knitted cat Christmas tree bauble knitted by myself here at Custard Hamstery  :rofl:
The cat will be crafted to look as much like your cat as possible within the limitations of my wool colours and the constraints of the shape. It will be the same shape as my own cats in the picture ie sitting up and will have a Santa hat and a hanging string.
Colours I have are black, white, grey, tortoiseshell, ginger or if the winner wants something zany I have pink, blue, yellow etc! I also have some long haired black or white. I will try and make it as near as possible to your cat's pattern and it will be unique.
I never do two the same  ;)
It will measures about 3 inches high and all hand made. As these take a while to knit I am starting the bids at £1. It will come with a card which will be personalised with your cat's name.
I will need to have you post a picture of the cat and I will be mailing it a little later as I need time to knit it! Hopefully it will be there for Christmas though as long as the pics are available right away.
Below are examples of my own cats Callie and Monty's ornaments.
Please note this is not suitable as a toy due to the small parts. Ornamental only.

Sky says she will suit being a Christmas decoration more than any other cat as she is a tiny bit pudding-like.

Paid by bank transfer....I think :) The bank says it "may" have been unsuccessful but it has been taken from my account so no idea!
