“As some of you may know, this year I entered the Vanna’s Choice Contest 2011. My project was lucky enough to have been chosen as a finalist! This actually posed some logistical problems, as my finalist project was also one that was intended to go into the new book, Loom Knitting for Little People! We had only a very small window of time to be able to get his photos professionally taken before he had to embark upon his journey to strut his stuff in front of Vanna White herself!
Although I’m sure she was very taken with him, as how could anyone not be, he wasn’t among the winners in his category. The competition was extremely fierce this year…just check out the winners and see for yourself!
He finally made it back to us this past week, weary and travel worn, but thrilled to be in his own home again…and we were thrilled to have him! In fact, my younger daughter and I got in a tiny little tussle over who was to get to hold him first when we he out of the box, lol.
I’d love to introduce you to our very special, extremely colorful and ever entertaining friend, Koby the Striped Kitty!
As you can see, he didn’t come alone in that box…he brought a few goodies with him! For being a finalist, he got to take home a Laugh with Lola comic book, a Lion Brand Yarn catalog, a thank you letter from Michaels, and my personal favorite, a $25 Michaels’ gift card! How cool is that?!
Koby is one of the projects you can make in the book, Loom Knitting for Little People! Yes, you too can have your very own special striped kitty to sit next to you on the couch while you loom up fantastic creations, or he can keep watch over you while you’re sleeping, or he can sit in the front of the shopping cart and keep track of your coupons while you brave the crowds at Wally’s! lol.
Well…if not for you, then some little kidlett will absolutely love his company! Though, I do warn you, that you might just want to plan to make two, because he seriously has a way of needling his sweet little personality into your heart and it’s super hard to let him go to someone else. We know this personally. This Koby you see above is our 3rd in the Koby family. The first two were commissioned by Provo Crafts almost exactly one year ago. It was sooooo hard to send them away and know that we weren’t to see them ever again. My daughter Emily and I worked together to create these first two…
See what I mean? Just look at the love in her face…that’s full fledged Koby Kitty Love!“
