Cat and Yarn.

Last time I bought yarn, I happened to get two hanks of red cotton.  Before I started knitting with the first one I wound it into a ball, but it took ages because I let it all get tangled up as I went.

This time I unfolded the hank carefully and held it taut between my knees.  That worked a lot better.

And, as you can see, I had the very close supervision of Miss Edith Cavell-Cat.  She is fascinated by yarn and all things yarn related.  She is such a cliche.
