Part One: The evidence

Gory, I know. The astute viewer may note toothmarks along the spindle’s shaft. The manner in which the singles was torn from the spindle and killed may also provide a clue as to the culprit. (A chilling look into the criminal’s cold, cold heart.)

  4. Ooh, That’s just about unforgivable. No catnip for that puddy tat.

  13. Don’t have to be a psychic detective to know that cat had a wonderful time killing that spindle.

  14. Awww…. I have some chewed needles from dogs and cats… I never leave anything out anymore. I’m a little scared to see what happens with the yarn and the loom as I take up weaving. I don’t know anything about spinning. I hope it’s all salvagable.

  15. Note to self: do not accept any packages from Cari this week, especially if the package is mewing.

  17. Well. Now that shaft will have good traction for the thigh-launch.

  18. I had assumed a dog did it. Mostly because one of mine tried to do the same thing to mine. AS I was spinning!

  27. Oh, I thought it was the little Sadist. Cats play with yarn? DuuuUUUUUuuuude.

  28. Ouch! That’s painful to view. I don’t think it’s completely dead. I believe it can be saved. Saving the singles may not be possible, but I know that with a bit of rehab, the spindle will again be well.

  29. Let’s not be too hasty here. Oscar may be getting a bad rap.

    Could it be that Billy snapped behind the pressure of new fatherhood?

  30. Uh oh! I’m betting it was a puppy in this case. The teeth marks look to big to me. But then, it is still in one piece. Most dogs would have snaped the spindle to pieces. Interesting…

  31. Check the suspects’ teeth for fiber and wood shavings!

  32. You kind of can’t blame a guy for mistaking something that rolls and has yarn wrapped around it for a cat toy. Cats can be so ridiculous: my friend Ann’s kitty chews big, honking holes out of woolen garments. Needless to say, Ann’s not knitting with the good stuff these days.

  39. The really disturbing thing about this crime scene is how *little* carnage there is. The singles were neatly, almost surgically separated from the shaft. But the fiber hasn’t been pulled apart or mangled the way you’d expect someone in a rage would.

    The shaft of the spindle is marked, but not seriously damaged. That spindle could have gotten away if it hadn’t been physically restrained.

    This criminal wasn’t motivated by anger or desperation or even profit. The criminal did this for . . . enjoyment. *Shudder*

  40. Ooohhhh…Take it away! Take it away! Bones & guts make me queasy….I’ll send you some chalk to outline the “body” ooooooo

  42. dogs steal yarn…becomes…cat attacks spindles.

    (the yarn singles are beautiful, and seem to have withstood the attack. I think that is an excellent yarn quality.)

    there is more (!) evidence to this crime?

  44. I’m starting to see the logic in my husband’s no-animals-in-the-house rule now – but, since my three-year-old can do the same amount of damage, I’m wondering if we should lump him in with the cats and dogs on this issue.
