Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat . . .

. . . I love you.  Yes I do.   Well, enough of Tom Jones.

In October I received 3 boxes of kitty-cat fluff from my 2 grand-kitties, Hugo and Maks. This is Hugo's fluff.

I started off quite well and got the carding done pretty quickly, but then Christmas started to rear its head and I knew I wouldn't get much further for a while, at least until I'd finished all my presents.

It never looked this tidy on the cats!

I spun Hugo's without incident and thought the rest would be a breeze.  However, I'd forgotten I had a dodgy bobbin that needed to be glued back together, and sure enough it fell apart half way through Maks' first box.  I wasn't too upset when this happened, after all it was my own fault for not getting it glued when it happened the first time, but did it really have to knot up so badly when I was transferring it to a new bobbin?

The only other thing that stopped me spinning every evening was Jak, my big 17 year old bundle of fun (cat, to you!!) who sleeps all day and wants to cuddle all night!  Got there in the end though.

These three only took 3 months to finish!!  Not my fastest spinning by a long way, but at last they're packed up and on their way to sunny Scotland where our daughter-in-law lives. I'm not sure what she's planning to do with this - maybe she'll save it with the rest I've spun for her until there's enough for something more substantial than kitty socks!

Last but not least, here are the dynamic duo :-
