The only problem I had was finishing the last row of instructions. I need to check with them to see if the diagram matches the pattern. I made a little adjustment, not sure if I should have or not. LOL
Joining the head to the next to last picot on the required chain is where I ran into the most trouble. It is attached as you can see in the picture, :) but I have a twisted picot. Yes, that's right a twisted picot. Can you see me frowning? I thought I followed the instructions correctly, but I guess I will need to practice, practice, and practice some more on that one. I only ripped it out about 5 times, until I could at least get the last few DS going in the right direction. I know it's still wrong because of the darn twisted picot.
I have made hearts, and connecting the picots were not a problem. This one was different and what a time I had. Why would this be different than when I finished the hearts?????? I am so confused. LOL
It looks like I need to trim the right side whiskers a bit. He or she is a little lopsided.

Your tatted kitty cat turned out so cute! I'm glad you were able to finish it!
Oh, the dreaded twisted picot!!! I hate that! I've had many a twisted picot until I was finally able to twist my mind around how to attach it untwisted, it's tricky, it's like you have to join the picot while it's twisted a certain way so that when it's lying flat it will lay untwisted. Something to show you, not try to explain, you know?
I think your kitty is cute too!
You should tat another cat to keep him company...
This is one of my favorite patterns. I've tatted it several times and I can't tell you why I like it so much, but I do.
Nice color - looks almost calico!
That is sooo cute...but looks so complicated.lol. Laurie

Tattingchic, thanks for the comment. Just one more challenge figuring out the twisted picot. :)
I will check out your blog. :)
Laddyshuttlemaker, Thanks for stopping by. I might have to tatt another cat just to learn how to avoid the twisted picot. Funny thing is if I do figure it out I probably won't remember how I did it. :)
Gina, You are right, I planned it that way using the variegated thread. I love valdani thread.
Laurie and Rengin, It wasn't too bad until the end.
Jessica, Thanks for the comment.
Very cute, Kathy. Kind of looks like our Ginger!
Hi Kathy,
Thank you for visiting my blog. I see what you mean about the cat's head. I hope my tutorial on the twisted picot helps you get rid of it.. the twisted picot, not the cat's head, LOL!
