Knits for abandoned animals

finished and sent off some Calorimetries and a cat bed to Ompelukerho . I got the Calorimetries' designers approval for making several of them and selling them for charity. The cat bed might be given as a present to an animal shelter (based on Princess Snowball catbed from S'n'B Handbook).

 

I hope they get some money for the animals with my knits!

In chicken heaven, I hope Colonel Sanders nuggets are on permanent display

Check these cartoons out, if there's even a hint of an animal lover and humour in you: Bizarro's cartoons. This is my favourite, about seal hunting: Cartoon no. 15.  In your face, Canada!

Here's more of his stuff, also of other subjects. - Bizarroartist.org.

What do you think? I love it.
