Does this Kitty Pi make me look fat?

I loved seeing all the FO for this Kitty Pi, and just had to make it. Generally Zoë likes anything that's handmade, so I thought there was a good chance she'd enjoy it. So I frogged my Boobie scarf & repurposed the yarn for the Kitty Pi. It was coming out terrible & too scratchy to wear anyway.


I doubled up on the yarn through the sides to make it a little more solid, but it was still pretty floppy. Ended up folding it over and now it holds it's shape great! I threw a little catnip in the bottom of it to generate interest, and the other members of my household rewarded her with treats whenever she entered it. Now it's her regular family room sleeping spot!

So here she is in the finished Pi. I can't get over how huge she looks in this picture! She's only 8lbs!

I needed a gift for my friend Beth, and I decided that with the 50% off sale at New York Knits that she needed a scarf. I found a couple good patterns, asked for decision-making assistance in the Patterns board at Ravelry.. Someone suggested "Holding Hands, Feeding Ducks". It was meant to be really, Beth has a little duck-shaped birthmark on her neck. And now it'll be warm!
