I’m going to be very honest with you on this one…I am so glad this project is DONE 😅
This Cat Pillow was one of the more challenging Knitmas makes, and it definitely pushed my skills as a designer and knitter. There were moments of frustration, re-thinking, and “Why did I choose this?” — but I’m also incredibly proud of how it turned out.
💡 Quick behind-the-scenes note:
When I was stuck and feeling frustrated trying to figure out one tricky part, my husband made a suggestion that completely unlocked the solution. So a big thank-you to him for the fresh perspective when I needed it most ❤️
