I got home from work yesterday at my normal time (about 7pm), and saw my hubby in the living room. He gave me the face and the voice. The ones that mean that the cat has done something evil.
She had gotten into the closet of extra yarn storage (which I had apparently not shut completely when I left for work) and had gotten her claws into about 1400 yards of navy merino lace weight. I couldn't think about it last night, so I put it high in the corner and told myself I would look at it this morning.
It took over 10 minutes to find a free end (so I wouldn't need to cut the yarn) and then I started winding. I have a inch-wide ball that took more than 30 minutes to wind. At this rate, I should be done winding all of the yarn up sometime next week. Huzzah.
