Handmade Scarfs like the Brixton

I've been having fun learning how to knit as you know if you follow this blog and I just wanted to share with you that I decided to start my Etsy shop Ornute to showcase these items and more.  After working in fashion for years I know starting anything just before Christmas (especially online) is not the best ideal, but I couldn't resist.  I'm having so much fun knitting I just wanted to share it with everyone.

I am teaching a sewing class right now and it's reminded me of past projects I've made. So I thought it would be fun to post this video of my cat on a toy mat I made him.   This video was shot a yr ago.  We had a snow tube pop a hole so we thought it would be funny to give him a ride on the tube.  He loved it!  He kept jumping on it and meowing until we would pull him.  It was so funny!  I knew I had to make him something similar.

 I used felt for the top piece polyester filling and lining fabric for the bottom to make it slippery.  It's one of his favorite toys. He likes to jump on it and make it slide across the floor sometimes!
