On this page, Manchego’s kitty pi is crocheted and felted.

L.

Yeah, I was looking around yesterday and I think it could be done in
crochet easily.  Just crochet the same size as the knit one and then
felt.  I guess the big trick with it is to get the right kind of wool
that felts.  Here in Thailand, I have the problem of the language
barrier so it's hard to ask advice like that of a store person.  Maybe
I'll have to wait until we get to Australia to begin this project.

Well, the shampoo ran out after just one dip, which I told TED, and she
didn't say to get another bottle, so I guess I'll at least wait for the
results of this latest test. It takes a while, because they have to do a
culture.

Seems like it's just available in the USA.  No worries, my aunt is very
resourceful, I'm sure we'll find some suitable wool between us eventually.

He had his 80th birthday on Dec 21, and we made it a special occasion.  He
had two birthday cakes, one at lunch time and the other in the evening when
they went out for an Indian meal.
I don't think we'll have him much longer :-((
He had to be admitted to hospital with a heart scare on Wednesday, it turned
out his Digoxin meds had built up too much.   He went in at 12.30 pm and
didn't get a bed until 1.30 a.m the next morning.
It is a special heart hospital.  Poor Auntie Margaret was so freaked out she
had two angina attacks herself while she was there.  I asked her if she'd
told them about it.  "No, of course not." she said, "I figured they'd pick
me up off the floor if they had to."
My aunt is one amazing woman.  She came to stay, bringing my uncle, post
stroke, in Sept 04 to look after me and my chickens following my last eye
op, having had zero experience of chicken/goose care, and we are talking
about nearly an hour to take care of them in the morning and some fierce
cockerels to deal with.
She managed as if she was born to it.
Then she looked after me after my hysterectomy in May, this time at her
house.  I never had to lift a finger while I was there.

My uncle and her have been together since they were 16. First love and all
that.  She has never spent a day and night alone in her life, so I don't
know what she will do when he's gone, simply because she has done everything
for him all his life, not because she will miss what he does for her.  She
is very strong though, I think she'll be okay.

When my uncle was here he did not want to accept that Boyfriend didn't want
to know him.  Every morning Boyfie would be in and as soon as Uncle Bryan
got up, Boyfie would go out.  Eventually, a day before Uncle went home
Boyfriend allowed him a tiny scritch and stroke which he still talks about.
Kitty attached herself to his chest all the time.  He was very kind about
it, but he really didn't want it.   Every time he got up from a chair he had
to unattach claws from his sweater and put a little cat back down on the
floor.
