    You know that your cat’s name means “skin” in Italian? If you named it intentionally, may I ask you why?

      Haha! We’re Norwegian and Pelle is a name here - he was named by my daughter and the inspiration came from a children’s TV/movie series called Pelle Politibil (Pelle the Police Car). The car is black and white just like our Pelle.

      Incidentally, he also has skin under the fur, so the name is still quite fitting with added context!

        Yeah, skin is great but Pelle the police car is awesome! Glad I’ve learned something new :)

      Needle-felting is mad difficult, you never know if you end up with something cute or something deeply disturbing! Crochet is a bit more forgiving (just looks silly when bad).

      Oh those are super cute!!! I am deeply flattered by the fact you actually remembered them from seeing my weird crochet kitty!
