Massive cat mohair coat is finished! There may be a little bit of embroidery added to her face at a later point but for now she is done!
The pattern is titled "Priscilla" from a book from 1988 called Cat Knits by Melinda Coss. It is full of amazingly daggy cat themed patterns with a goodly amount of mohair and is available to borrow on archive.org.
The entire thing is knitted using intarsia and there were so so many ends. Mohair has permeated my entire house. I am planning to wear it into the city for the knitting guild meeting in May.
I bought the yarn and pattern together as a kit from a lady who was destashing it. She had started it for a 21st project for her daughter in the early nineties and then 30 years later I bought it.

A thing I love to do is telling prepper dudes that one of my disaster readiness skills is making stuffed animals. They never get it. Like, my dude, when things get very bad and we're all sharing overcrowded shelters, you're gonna want the power to comfort children. Trust me.

knitting tutorial made by a twenty-something knitting influencer: 18 min long, 12 of those minutes being the intro and a sponsor plug, they show the first few steps of the tutorial at the slowest speed known to man, they show the most important steps at a neck-break speed, they stop every five seconds to talk about what they just did, 40,000 comments filled with questions ranging from insightful to “how do i knit”, filmed with a camera that costs more than a car, the tutorial is incorrect.
knitting tutorial made by a seventy-something grandmother: two min long, filmed 17 years ago, shows you what you want with the skilled patient hands of a beloved deity, made with the world’s shittiest camera, the best video on the fucking internet, four comments and 30 views, you lose the video and never find it again.

simple tutorial on how to make those bottlecap buttons you see everywhere
you'll need:
bottlecap•soda tab•safety pin•pliers•sandpaper/file•paint/paint markers/smth to decorate with•clear nail polish
remove the print on the buttons using a file or the sandpaper
(if you wanna keep the print skip this step, use a cloth to protect the print from scratches when folding down the sides of the cap)
fold down opposing sides of the cap, to help add in the safety pin
bend the tab at a slight angle, insert it into the cap. make sure the side of the safety pin that can not open is the one stuck under the tab
fold down one side of the cap to lock the tab in place, then try and press the tab as flat as you can, to lock the safety pin in place (prevents the buttons from moving on the safety pin, if you like rattling buttons, skip this step)
fold down all other sides of the cap
cover the button in one or more base layers of paint
add ur design (i use paint or paint markers for good coverage and vibrant colors)
cover that in one or two layers of nail polish, it will protect the button from rain and the paint from cracking
thats it, lemme know if you want tutorials on anything else, i like making em.

My plan to knit a LOTR themed hat & cowl to go with the red coat and Star Wars themed purse I got last winter is going great! I finished the hat...just in time for the weather to be like 80-some degrees out. :-D
Anyway, it's a lovely hat and the cowl is going nicely too, and at least I will have them done in plenty of time* for next winter.
*or maybe I won't. extreme project delay HAS been known to occur, after all! But at least I have a very pretty hat. XD
Noble Maiden Hat and One Ring Cowl, both from The Fellowship of the Knits and both in Knit Picks Gloss DK, which is lovely and soft and smooshable! The white yarn is Bare but the gold/brown is Harvest which is not currently available - hopefully just seasonal and not discontinued, but who knows. (And hopefully I don't run out now!)
