My Notes

31 August: I just used whatever yarn I had at home. Finished the head, body, and one arm.

2 September: I’d been on a break from this project for a few days. Today, I finally worked on the second arm.

I was so tired of changing yarn colours every two rows. It made the whole process painfully slow. No wonder I’d been putting this project off!

I finally finished the second arm, but honestly, I felt like giving up on the whole project. Turns out, I really don’t enjoy changing yarn colours so many times.

I took a short break, had some coffee, and listened to Saipudin sing.

Eventually, I finished all the pieces. Tomorrow, in shaa Allah, I’ll join them all together.

6 September: Sewed the arms, legs, ears, and face together. And it's finally done!

Fiona is so happy with her new cat doll.
