So many awesome crafty things in this episode! But my favorite is, of course, the Doctor Who cross stitch <3 <3 Off to pin that and share it everywhere 😉
Aww, thank you! ??
My husband and I had a running joke that his cat shed enough fluff to spin into yarn so one year for his birthday I did a whole lot of cat brushing, combed it with wool, and knit him a hat out of “purrbaa” yarn ? (https://anti-quotidian.com/2012/10/08/enquiring-minds-want-to-know/). The cat was not happy but it was an interesting spinning adventure and now, many years later, my husband has a really special memento of his beloved pet ❤️
Also I’ve seen Heidi on Insta so I know she’s ok but what has become of the neurotoxin sweater?!?!
Hah! Purrbaa is brilliant! That just made my day. (I think the sweater is on hold for now, but Mollie has discovered that she too has a sweater quantity of it!)
