Last week we explored the Crochet & Cats phenomenon. This week it’s time to crochet in honor of and for our furry friends!

Cats are usually afraid of water, but the Cat Scrubbie will actually help you do dishes. Kind of. Help your child play dress up or express your catty side with the Child’s Cat Ear Headband.Your cat can play with any of these fun (& funny) cat toys! Crochet a lot with the 5 Quick Cat Toys pattern. Alternately, you could try the Miss Mouse Cat Toy. If your crochet skills are lacking, try the April Fools Cat Toy. (It’s really easy!) After playing, your sweetheart needs a cozy place to rest, so why not crochet the Super Versatile Cat Bed? I think it would look great in a multicolored yarn.

So what about you, my friends? Do think your cat would like these patterns? Are you going to try one? Please leave your thoughts, ideas and questions in the comment section below.

Do you love Halloween? I know that so many of you do! I mean, what’s not to love? There’s candy, costumes, revelry… all kinds of fun! Some of my favorite memories involve venturing out for trick-or-treating on a cool, autumn evening, crunching through leaves, and learning from friends about the houses with the big candy bars! Halloween is so much fun for kids!

The fun doesn’t have to stop in childhood, my crochet friends! Crochet has endless possibilities when it comes to costume elements, trick-or-treat bags, and even Halloween decorations! I think I am going to design a pair of animal ears and attach them to a headband for a semi-costume this year. I also want to be ready for the trick-or-treaters this year, so you know I will be crocheting something spooky to decorate the porch!

Guess what! There are a number of great Halloween patterns on Crochet Spot. Here are a few that could help make Halloween special for you and for the kids in your life! 🙂
