Knitted Kitty

I knitted this cat in a handwork class while at Waldorf teacher training one summer. It's basically a knitted square sewn and stuffed in the shape of a cat. I added the embellishments using the same yarn used to knit the body. The yarn and stuffing are both 100% wool, because natural materials are best for developing children's senses, according to Waldorf methodology. I agree with this premiss and hope to make more toys for my daughter using all natural materials, which means more blog posts. :)
