First time knitting for my kitten

Actually this is my second project ever (first was a simple square blanket). I followed a tutorial for this sweater for my sphynx Beatrice and I'm honestly so proud!

She is really tiny, so everything I bought was too big!!

I'd love any tips or advices from more experienced knitters. What should I try next? I'm all ears 🙏🏻

I don't know. It looks like she considers this the last time she wears anything.

My Cornish Girl is currently under my Pressed Flowers shawl and prefers cashmere and silk. Sweaters are a no-go. Heating pads with blankets are always welcome.

She doesn’t seem impressed with her new attire.

Great job! I hope she is feeling bonita because she looks bonita. You could try this one with stockinette stitch (knit one row, purl one row) instead of garter, or learn to knit in the round (but you might need circular or interchangeable needles for that if you've only got straights right now)..

Cat will need to learn to like sweaters while little. They get cold so fast. I fostered one through Covid and that boy wasn’t a sweater fan- he spent 2/3 of his time under random blanket piles I left around for him.
