Ha! That's great! But seriously. No cat tail fiber was used in the making of this gift...(although I'm told that there was a time when cattail fiber was used to make paper)

I'm pretty sure some bunny hairs, pony hairs and husband hairs make it into anything I crochet...

That was meant for Wildoates -- one of her cats had an accident and part of the tail had to be amputated. I've suggested that she change his name from Finn to Fin.

I will spin a prayer for Jenn- that that her tumor(s) vanish from all pathologists microscopes by Easter Sunday.

So I am a little confused as to how this works. We prayed, and our prayers went into the yarn? And then you crochet something with the yarn. And then you burn the remnants left. Why not just save those remnant prayers and make like a... a.. ring or something?
Also, I'm glad you're getting better Wild!

Excellent question. When I am spinning I go in to a kind of zone, spinning intention into the yarn. For this particular gray possum ply the intention was to distill a glob of tumor burden down to a more manageable one-cell-at-a-time, more like how a healthy immune system normally encounters a mutated cell. after the plying I had some of the gray possum yarn left, but Tumor burden just doesn't belong here, so I respectfully destroyed it by fire.

Ah. Got it. So none of the actual good yarn gets burned. Just the tumor yarn. I think I'm getting this a little better...
