Memories of Zappa.

Hi Everyone!!!
Knitting is one of our favorite crafty things to do and we have been wanting to make a knitted bag with a picture of our friends' cat and dog on it for a xmas pressie. Sadly their dog past away last year. So we thought it would be nice to make them a pair of pillows to sit on the bed where Zappa [their dog] liked best. We found a photo that best described him without using words then Little Ma pixulated the photo in black and white on the computer. Put a graph over the top. We then chose some colours that best suited Zappa, did a gauge and started. We made one pillow each in contrast colours.We always describe the white pillow as his good side and the other as his cheeky side. We helped bury Zap under the tree he use to sit under while watching the sun set with his companion cat Panda.
After, we gave our dear friends [Zap's parents] the pillows. They absolutely loved them and now have a permanent place on the bed where they get cuddled every day. We have plans to make some pillows of Panda in the near future but there is a long list of stuff to make so may have to wait awhile.
Till next time MnM!!!

Hey there,
Every now and then , while we were knitting the pillows, someone would tell of a favourite 'Zappa' memory. It got me thinking that whenever I make something for someone else , I seem to think of them at every stitch. So there's a lot of love, good karma , whatever you call it, in the garment. I wonder if it's felt. (Unless it's not working, then there's some negative energy happening LOL). hugs Little Ma
