I felted a small shoulder bag for my 5 year old son to carry some games, and I think it only took a bit more than 54 yards, including shoulder strap and flap to close the bag...and that was felted! You could make an adorable, soft, fuzzy bag with your ball!<BR/><BR/>Alternatively, you could make a little soft plush kitty in memory of Candy Kitty...there is a pattern here (language warning, though) http://geobabe.livejournal.com/227621.htmlUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259635175032161276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34356595.post-4858760380328508452007-08-17T19:23:00.000-07:002007-08-17T19:23:00.000-07:00I am so sorry to read about your sweet kitty and h...I am so sorry to read about your sweet kitty and her illness and passing.

The pattern calls for 124 yards bulky angora for all sizes, but depending on your gauge/head size you could alter the pattern and still get a nice soft covering for your ears on chilly days. Nakiska is worked in the round so you could just knit until the yarn runs out.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09988584318341554996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34356595.post-19614805270315552692007-08-17T08:09:00.000-07:002007-08-17T08:09:00.000-07:00...Here via "Stumbling Over Chaos"...Mmm, cashmere......Here via "Stumbling Over Chaos"...<BR/><BR/>Mmm, cashmere! bulky or fine, it's always lovely. I see that my first instinct has already been suggest, so I'll just throw in a second vote for "scribble lace" (a la Debbie New), though if it were mine I'd find some lace-weight silk to pair it. <BR/><BR/>Sorry to hear about your kitty -- she's ever so cute!

We've had cool weather here in the Pacific N.W., which is very weird for August but that just means we're due for a scorcher. <BR/><BR/>I saw something in the Mason-Dixon Knitting book called "Scribble Lace" which alternates bulky yarn with fine yarn on large needles. It's really just garter stitch but looks interesting. I bet you could get a good sized scarf out of your cashmere yarn if you paired it with something like Kidsilk Haze. Just a thought--I can't see the word "contest" on somebody's blog and not enter! ;)<BR/><BR/>I enjoy reading whatever you have to say, so write about your kitty as much as you want.
