Haha I have three Bengals.
The tree is under contemplation. Do I really want to rebuild it every day?
Mini Johnny is hanging on the wall above leaping height for now, whilst I decide. I give him a cuddle every morning.

 :hug: :hug:  Aw, it's heartbreaking when you lose them young.   I know only too well.  They stay with us though, forever.

 Bet your bauble now has pride of place on the tree?  :wow:

I was the lucky lady who won the handknitted bauble. I am utterly delighted with him.
I did shed a few more tears when I opened the parcel. I really miss that boy, he was just thirteen months old when I lost him.
Also, I did offer to send photo's of an easier cat to copy, but I am so happy that Lynne took up the Bengal challenge. She is a very talented lady.
I had expected to be outbid on this, be warned ladies I have three more cats I want immortalised.

I think their exclusivity is part of their charm, too.   :)

I would pledge for these plus one of mine is a bengal so you have a template! actually thinking about it the others are black so quite straight forward and a white with tabby version of callie so you know all about that!

love the pic, it is adorable

I don't sell them no as I don't really have the time to knit enough and I like to keep them 'special' for the auction and for my friends at Christmas.
As I do hamsters as well it takes time LOL


I could try and knit some through the year maybe if people would like to 'pledge' a guaranteed amount for next year but they would't get it till the auction ;)
It's a thought?
Johnny took quite some time as the pattern on a Bengal is pretty tricky and I also feel like they should be exact when in reality they can only be an 'artistic impression'

That is so cute! The little wings are such a nice touch  :Luv2:

Do you sell them anywhere? You should open an Etsy shop!

The more I look at that bottom photo, the more it's like Callie's photo-bombed Johnny  :evillaugh:

Aw how fab is Johnny Depp?   ;D  (And Callie also makes a very fetching "Moddell" with that coquettish little face of hers.   ;) :Luv2:

This made me smile so much, little Johnny Depp indeed, very handsome and smart. Love his tiny hat, you must have really tiny needles  :Luv2:  :hug:

As you maybe know I auctioned a hand knitted cat bauble again this year and the lady who won it asked me to knit a Bengal cat  :Crazy:  :doh:  :scared:
This was her Johnny Depp who passed away very young. I hope I did him justice and I knitted him his wings too  ;) Don't worry I've fixed the tag spelling already!
