Chester goes Topless
Hello Chester
Chester and Taffy help with the hedge trimming
.... just click on these links and they should take you straight to them. Feel free to leave a comment if you would like to, I'll post a reply as soon as I can.
You can see how Chester was made by clicking on the tab 'Chester the Extreme Crochet Cat' at the top of the page and to see pictures of Chester click on 'Chester's Gallery'. There is also a tab marked 'workshops' where you can find out what workshops are coming up soon.
Finally, I would just like to thank Katharine of Make and Craft for creating such a fantastic magazine.
While I'm at it, I'd also like to thank Wendy over at Handmade Harbour for hosting Handmade Monday. She has been very busy recently but still manages to keep up with us all.
Have a good week and I'll see you over there!
I knew that 'cool Cat' was destined for super stardom. Could I please have his autograph? xxx
ReplyDeleteYou always come up with the most entertaining comments:) I'll see if I can get his paw print for you, I'll have to grab him when he's in the right mood!
DeleteBig congratulations! I bet you're over the moon! Chester is one cool cat
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I've not experienced this before, neither has Chester so it we are having really good fun :)
Deletei saw your post about the magazine feature on facebook... how fantastic! and very well deserved recognition - for you both :) x
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's a good feeling :)
DeleteMy daughter, who is looking over my shoulder, says that is awesome!
ReplyDeleteChester loves this adoration! Tell her if she learns to crochet, she too could have a cat like Chester:)
DeleteNo apologising needed!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteOh how fabulous. Chester deserves his every centimetre of his press coverage! Well done you x
ReplyDeleteThank you Wendy. I shall have to think about making him a friend - the problem is where to keep them :)
DeleteWow, we have a super star in our midst. I hope it all doesn't go to his head!
ReplyDeleteHe looks super cool sitting there with his minder :0D
His head will be too big to get him through the door soon!
DeleteHis fans will be queuing up for an autograph. I think he would look great in a vw campervan too! How fantastic, you must be so pleased.
ReplyDeleteWendy x
If I could find someone with a campervan that would be great! It was lovely to see us both in print :)

DeleteWell done to you and Chester of course :-) He is an amazing creations and deserves much more publicity x
ReplyDeleteThank you feel free to publicise him. I would love to make another one but could do with a commission as I cannot house too many creations of Chester's size!! Our house just isn't big enough:)
DeleteCongratulations on yours and Chester's new found fame. You both look very comfy there on the sofa.
ReplyDeleteAli x
Thank you. I think the fame will be rather short lived but it's was a good feeling :)
DeleteWhat brilliant news! How cool does Chester look just chillin' on the sofa!
ReplyDeleteHe's got a lovely life :)
DeleteI love it - Chester certainly is extreme Crochet! Congratulations for the feature - well deserved. I'd love to see you taking the pics of Chester on his adventures - particularly liked the topless one :o) Bet the neighbours are all fans!
ReplyDeleteThank you. The best reactions I saw were when my husband drove down to our local Hobbycraft Store with Chester in the passenger seat of his open top Mazda. I was driving behind him and the reaction from pedestrians (and other drivers!) was brilliant :)
DeleteCelebrity status beckons for you and Chester. Congratulations on being featured :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I wish!
