I am the second and third owner of these. The first owner got one for each of her cats and neither liked them. So she brought one for me and one for someone else at K&CC. Since I got two I assume they were not well received by the other person's cat either. The ones in this house are weird about them. When I first pulled them out and gave each one they both got really excited and licked them a bunch but neither would take a bite. I left them out and at some point during the day they disappeared. So while they aren't good enough to get excited about, they are good enough to eat at some point. I'm glad I don't have to try and find another person to try them on.
I've run into some more problems with the chart. If you aren't comfortable at all following written instructions, I have figured out which rows have the same beginning pattern as the rows missing marks near the beginning of the row. I wish I had noticed sooner because I had to take out 6 rows of knitting.
For row 37, look at 25; row 39, look at 27; and row 41, look at 29. The ends of the rows are not the same, so once you get a repeat or two done you will be able to look back at the row you are actually on. You could also just follow the written instructions for the whole row and you won't have to jump around.
I recently found my bag of yarn that I had set aside to make into hats. I like taking random stitch patterns and turning them into interesting hats. I was browsing the internet and stumbled upon this
52 Square KAL. The link goes to the page describing the knit-a-long. Each block is made out of just knits and purls. The list of all the blocks can be found with the
52 Square Pickup tag. It looks like each block comes with written and charted instructions.
