[Nfb-krafters-korner] FRIDAYS QUESTION-What craft haveyou always wanted to try?

[joseli Walter]

I've thought about doing something like that with my cat's fur. Maybe use it
as the stuffing for a stuffed kitty or something.
Fur is really easy to get off of her because she loves being brushed.

Sue,

I am doing the same thing with my cat. The vet diagnosed her with kidney
failure but that was more than a year ago and she still has way more good
days than bad. I have started using a pet vacuum and that makes it extremely
easy to catch the fur. So far, I am storing it in a loose plastic bag.

I don't think that I want to do much spinning, but I want to learn to be
able to do something special with this fur to have something that means a
lot when she is gone. She is a short-hair so I'll have to work it with
something else to make a usable yarn. My current idea is something where the
fur could be used as a trim around a collar or cuffs. I have made fingerless
gloves and thought it might be nice as the edging.
