Amigurumi Kitty Friend: Orange

A friend recently asked me if I'd ever made an ami kitty.  I hadn't, but I was willing to give it a shot!  Here's my first attempt, very cleverly named Orange Kitty:

Not bad, for a first attempt, if I do say so myself.  This little guy stands about 6" to the crown of his head and is hand-crocheted using acrylic yarn.  His nose and mouth are hand-embroidered using floss, and he has safety eyes.

The really cool part is that this friend has an item I'm in love with on Etsy, so I'm trading her three kitties for some of her beautiful work.  All of the kitties I'm sending to her are based on her real-life cats.

This guy can be custom-ordered in any color combo.  Future versions will also feature safety noses, because - frankly - they're cute and I don't particularly enjoy embroidering noses.  The design will likely evolve a bit as I get more used to working with it, but the general idea will be based on this little cutie pie.
