Warm Toes
buried feet
The Quimper Hittys are finding ways to mitigate the darkening days and chills of November…Arianell jumped right into my knitting and cosied up with the merino-silk yarn, wishing for a cat to keep her company…

Socks and slippers
…but the felt cat was busy inspecting socks and slippers…

Clowder
…and most of the of the other Hitty kittys were snuggled in a basket with a quilt and pillow…

Stove
…but the luckiest cat of all gets to occupy the mat in front of the wood stove.

Quimper Hittys 
Quimperland has a wonderful clouder of cats. Each one is adorable. love the socks and slippers. It’s chilly here also. We are snuggled up under warm blankets in our chairs. Our Hittys have on their warm clothes too.
I have been thinking I should carve a wooden kitty for the Hittys…but I haven’t done it yet! I think the pink ceramic cat has a nice shape to try…one of these days maybe.
hope the Hittys and humans stay warm and cozy. Love the socks and the abundant clowder of cats, so cute.
Hittys socks are fiddly! After the first one, I decided I would never try knitting them again, but then I kept carving Hittys with bare feet…
and I’ve always wondered how you knit those little kitties with 4 tiny legs??
The legs and tail are very small knitted I-cords!
Warm, cozy socks and slippers – The cat likes them too
Cats definitely migrate to the warm spaces!
Aren’t those cats the cutest cozy critters congregating? So cuddly looking.
There is only one cat in the human household, and she is not very cuddly – more like “Toothless” in How to train your Dragon…however the Hitty’s cats enjoy having a clowder of cuddly cats in the cupboard!
I had no idea how much I had missed in the wonderful, old-fashioned and cosy Quimper Hitty world during my long days of dolls-in-storage-and-no-internet!
As always, this post is an absolute delight. Everything, from warm, wool clad toes to cats on mats has warmed me up on our first frosty morning when, somehow, the has boiler turned itself off and won’t relight!
I quite agree, Felt Cat, those moccasin socks are very interesting. Someone in the Hitty cupboard is very industrious in sock making. Was it you, Arianell?
Arianell hasn’t perfected her knitting technique, though she is practicing. Rose is the one who manages the sock-production in the Hitty cupboard – luckily, because they all seem to need socks at about the same time that I need to focus on Christmas gifts!
Ah, so Arianell is new to knitting still. But with Rose there to guide her, she is certain to be very skilled after a lot of practice.
what a cozy home for all those sweet cats…and those sweet Hittys.
We love them Hittys and Kittys and all!
There are times when I miss cold weather. Not many, but times like this, when I see cosiness. I miss pullovers and shawls and coats and woollen socks and mittens and scarves and warm petticoats and woollen skirts. Maybe it’s not the weather so much as the pretty warm clothes!
On the other hand you get to wear beautiful hand made Hawaiian-style shirts and it is not often warm enough for that around here!
Ah, true… It would be fun to swap seasons for a month or so, but maybe only that long. I’m not sure I could put up with the cold longer than that any more.
