I had this book for a week and had knitted a dozen felted mice! They are so cute! I even played around w/the pattern and made some smaller and some larger than the pattern. It's so basic I can make them w/out the pattern! The other patterns have set my creative juices to working. Rather than using the kitty pattern on a sweater how about using it on a handbag or tote!?! Gotta go, can't stop making those little mice...

This is a great book, filled with many unique and interesting projects that I can't wait to get my claws--ahem--I mean my hands into. Of the 20 projects that are in this book, there are only about two that I would not consider making, which is excellent odds for any craft project book. With most craft books, you are lucky if you like even half of the projects within them, so I would recommend this book to any lover of knitting who's a lover of kitty cats too! Two paws up!

I've already knit the hat pictured on the cover, and now all my knitting friends want to make one, too. Next up, the felted mice for my furry friends, Lily and Teddy.
