Found this ufo & decided I would get it out again. This is top right hand section, started at the middle .

Glad you've decided to pickt it up again, it looks like a lovely project!

Going to be adorable when you've finished.
OK, I admit it, I am severely biased in favour of anything feline, but that really will be good. Love the start you've made.

Richard.

Such a lovely project

Oh now that is seriously cute.

Those eyes are mesmerising.

You've made a lovely start.

Can't wait to see more.

Lovely kitten in beautiful soft colours! It should be a very enjoyable project to stitch

The kitten looks so peaceful and I am so glad you have picked it up again. Your beginning stitching is lovely and I look forward to the updates.

Thank you all.

I changed fabric to 16 ct, not 18 as in the kit. Have done all other Gold Colleciton ones on material supplied whihc is 18hpi, but looking at stitches/colours on chart I decided with the blue, grey & brown variations it would be better for me change to 16 hpi. Glad I did as I need a short break after an hours stitching before continuing for another hour. Using my bigger magnifier for this project too so do not stitch quite as long as I normally do, but it is worth going slower.

Background is half cross stitch wiith 3 strands. Ordinary blues, navy, dk blue, mid blue plus some variations on grey blue, Air Force blue type of colour - dk med & light blue/grey. Also greys have blue tint to several as well as ordinary greys. Nose on this kitty will have combined colours of one strand each grey & brown - I don't mind combination stitches but it was the shades of greys & blues I was concerned about.

It will take quite a while but going by other Dimensins Petite projects will be worth the wait. Used the 18 ct supplied to make small cards with so not Aida wasted

How beautiful! I've lost my heart to all cats IRL. Unfortunately being a cat owner is not a choice for someone like me. Lungs protest.
I'm sure you will tame the cat. It will be a beautiful project.

mysterystitcher: That's dreadful, such a shame. Don't anti-histamines help enough?

However, spare a thought for our tabby cat 'Jack', he was allergic to cat fur too. After every grooming session he wheezed like a steam train. It gradually got better until the next grooming session... We could tell where he was in the dark, his wheezing was a perfect locator.

Unfortunately he died of kidney problems overnight 31 Dec 2008/1 Jan 2009. Sorely miss him.

No, no they don't. It's better to admire the porcelaine cats only. It tears me apart, but my health is such a valuable thing I don't want to play with it. Kismet's kittens were too much for my poor lungs.
Your poor cat!!!!!!!!!!! I can't even imagine his feelings! I've had bad asthma attacks enough of times to imagine a bit how your cat must have felt. I am sorry for your loss, though. Even a sick animal is dear to the owner.

Beautiful design.
