Much like Henry’s Halloween tree from May 2011 (yes, of all the trees he could have drawn for this spring assignment, he chose a Halloween tree), which has “bin here sense the last Second,” I give you Jeff and Eevee in their Halloween hats. These only count as throwbacks for throwback Thursday in the way that any photograph is a throwback to a few seconds (or minutes, hours, days, years) ago. Happy Thursday!
Jeffrey Lebowski, Uni-kittyEevee, shark (or extra special cat with a third ear that looks borrowed from an elf – I may re-knit the shark fin)
I knit, crochet, spin, and have done some experimenting with weaving and natural dye. I’m also a technical writer, mom to 3 boys, and enjoy gardening.

You’re lucky the kitties let you put on their hats. Mine would NOT be happy. lol And I am so sentimental about my kids’ artwork – I kept all the pages like this from when they started school and I can’t bear to get rid of it, even though it’s really starting to mount up and take alot of space.
Well, I survived the night so the cats forgave me. I’m working on hats for the dogs now; they will probably keep the hats on longer than the cats. I love the kids artwork too; I’ve kept some of the extra special pieces, like this one, and have taken pictures of others along with some of their big school projects.
I used this free (after registering) pattern https://www.lionbrand.com/knitting-pattern-cats-in-hats-dinosaur.html and improvised the shark fin/elf ear and Jeff’s horn. The spikes could easily be adapted to be one big spike/fin, which is maybe what I should’ve done instead of getting all fancy and making one that could be stuffed. It’s all garter stitch so if you can knit and increase & decrease, you can make it. 🙂
Hahaha!
This is so great. We don’t have cats at the moment but I remember putting my childhood cat on a special cat leash- it didn’t end well.
Your cats must be very tolerant.

Incentive to knit! And they were both relatively easy to make!

The shark fins are adorable. And yes, elf ear or not, I am always surprised to see (somewhat) compliant cats 🙂

They’re not tolerant at all; both hats were on for less than a minute, I just had the camera ready & took lots of shots! 😀
