Cat Bed 2 Fin!

I snuggled the cat bed into the corner of our stripy couch &, lo & behold, the cat who sleeps there loves it as is! I put the hole towards the corner & it works fine that way. So I'm not going to bother with it anymore since it's already almost too small.

Cat Bed 2...Almost

It turns out that the garter stitch strip I knit for the sides of my second cat bed is too short. Therefore I'm thinking of filling the rest in with a felted red vest, just for kicks. My cats won't care, but it'll be interesting looking compared to the other (whose colors I like better).

How I Felt(ed My Cat Bed)

So far, I've had the best luck by

• Hottest wash
• Coldest rinse
• Lowest water level
• One quarter of the amount of soap for a small load
• Bit of vinegar (keep the dye from bleeding
• Double rinse
• Dry in dryer on high
• Use a dryer sheet

I didn't put it in a pillowcase or anything, but I'm thinking I might need to next time to spare my washing machine. I tie pillowcases shut with hair bands to clean them at the same time.
