    Excellent, Heidi! Can't wait to see results...

    What cute kitties, and hats! They don't look like they are knitted, though.

    I have a bag of Fister's hair, but not sure it's enough to make anything, and I can't spin it, anyway.

    There are some videos of how to spin on youtube.

    Those hats have been made by felting, not knitting - a whole different technique!

    Well, here it is. It doesn't look in any way as professional as those felted hats.
    And my technique is nonexistent. Once I had made the yarn, I used a large gauge crocheting needle and I made several big loops. I then sewed those loops together to make the hat.
    It will be a nice keepsake, no matter what it looks like!
    Thank you, Miss Kitty, for being a patient model. She tried to lick the hat since it's part of her!

    Oh, that's fabulous, Heidi! What a great job you did!

    What a wonderful fashion accessory for Miss Kitty! She looks quite content wearing it.
