Cat and mouse

Mousie pants are DONE!

The tail cracks me up. They are a bit long yet, but that is fine.


This is one of the last photos of Kittycat with our cat Minette. Minette left our home today after scratching Kittycat's face (this happened BEFORE we dressed our daughter up as a mouse, I hasten to add). We're sad, but we're sure she'll find a good home soon.
Here is my (probably) needlecase in Kureyon, post-felting. You can still see the stitches quite clearly - in fact there are still holes in it where the yarn was spun more tightly. I put it through 2 hot washes (taking it out before the rinse cycle), and did some hand felting too on the bits that didn't felt so well. I am thinking that trying felting when the only machine I have access to is a coin operated one might not be the most practical idea. I'll probably give it another attempt next time I'm at my parents' to see if it will tighten up a bit. I like the feel of the fabric though.
