Pattern Description:

Kittens! Kittens!

Kittens kittens everywhere?
Kittens chewing on my hair?
Kittens climbing up my jeans?
Kittens hanging from the screens?
There's a kitten on each shoulder?
Will they do this when they're older?
Kittens fighting on the chairs?
Kittens tumbling down the stairs?
There's a kitten on my head?
There's a kitten in the bread!?
There's a kitten in my shoe?
I don't believe we just have two!
(William Wordsworth)

I use USA terminology for my pattern (don't worry if you use UK terms, all the differences are explained in the pattern).
