Kittens! Inspired by… contests
If you’ve been following my crochet adventures over the last month (and you have, haven’t you?), you’ll know I was crocheting a bunch of kittens. Jen Nadol of the Tenners is hosting monthly giveaways for non-traditional swag for Tenner books. (The Debs did this for 2009, so if you’re familiar with that, that’s what this is.) Anyway, you’d think thinking up superhero/villain swag would be ridiculously easy, but not so! I really wanted to participate in this contest, but I had a lot of trouble figuring out what to do.
Eventually I thought of the “rescuing a kitten from a tree” scene in the book and decided to crochet 12 Kittens Stuck in a Tree (Tree Not Included). And here they are:

These guys were sitting on my floor, STARING at me all month! (Staring at me while I made more of them… creepy, no?)
Some may have turned out cuter than others, but heroes have to learn to save all kittens, regardless of their cuteness.
Oh, my gosh! So cute… even the less cute ones. :-D
Soooo cute! And I agree with the hero/kitty thing, especially ones stuck in trees, you cant be discriminatory. :]
*gasp* I am going to try my hardest to refrain from going completely SQUEEEEEE over them. But they’re adorable! I’m in awe of people who can knit/crochet/do artsy things that require lots of patience, and that isn’t writing. Lovely!
I love them! The white and orange one is my favourite out of the bunch (which is kind of unfair). May I have that one? :P
They just got here, Chelsea, and are completely adorable…every one of them (though I think the black cats are my favorites). You are v talented, thanks so much for all the effort!
Those are soo adorable! I’m planning to read The Rise of Renegade X as soon as I can get my hands on it, but now I want a kitten too! :)
OMGS…KITTENS!
“I’m her mom!”
“No, she’s not!”
I want them. Plz haz?
Those kittens are amazing! Very impressive work & a clever concept for unique book-related swag! :)
