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:

From Drop Box

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.

    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!
