Dear Ferret Folks- Tonight my excellent husband Dann ran the dryerload of clean, wet ferret blankies. (The 'Fricken Pigmy Hedgehog, France, hasn't really made a mess yet. Just left us the occasional French truffle for our consideration..) Anyway, he cleaned the lint trap afterward, and asked me jokingly if I wanted him to spin out the wad of clean ferret wool into a length of thin ferret yarn for me to knit. I demurred, politely. Then he came up with the idea of using ferret fur yarn to knit little union suits for poor, shivering adrenal weasels. Who better to do this, than, of course, KAT PARSONS? Now. If we all save what we clean from our lint traps when we dry our ferret bedding (I'm speaking especially to Shelter Moms here, think BULK) and mail it to Kat (I'm sure she'll be JUST DELIGHTED) she can knit little four legged one piece suits with a tail hole in natural unbleached gray wool! No more boney pink naked weasels! (Sung to the tune of "Look for the Union Label') Look for Kat Parsons' Label When you are buying an a-drenal suit You'll know that somewhere Kat Parson's Knitting Her suit's are fitting Our girls and boys Oh yes they cost more, but whose complaining (I thought she'd like that part) Oh, I can't remember the rest. Something about made in the USA which these would be, thank you very much! Anyway, I'm sure she'll post her address for us when she reads this. Now remember, make sure your ferret wool is COMPLETELY dry before you put it in the envelope, and don't expect any payment, this is for a good cause, God forbid you should ever need one!
