Now we work on some feet. Try to get 2 sheets, about the same size.

Roll them together with 1 fluffy side

Get an idea on how much you need to shorten it or not.

Then start needling them.
The lower side needs to be more flat, the top side i made more rounded.
Where it is under the “wheels” make it flat too

When they look like you want them, HAMMER them onto the tights :D

And again you need to secure it all with wool sheets.

When it all is neat and secure, we go on with the tail.

Take a sheet of wool, roll it up and secure it with a few punches

I worked it together a bit more while i was rolling it around and then i started to shape it.

Then attach it to the kitty’s rear

´

You might want to make the base a bit stronger and thicker, like i did, maybe you want the tail longer - i think i made it a bit to short.

Next we make a neck now.
You for sure can spare yourself the neck, and make the middle part an egg.

I started with balls, so i needed a neck … i thought :D
Take a sheet of wool, and needle a small part in the middle of it together.

Then pull the ends apart like this

Do this on both sides

Then have a look where you want to attach it

Hold it to the head, and needle the fluff on

go in to the head right in the middle and tag the fibbers together, then around the tight felted part, and needle it good and secure onto the head. then work all the loose fluff onto the head.

Place the other side of the neck onto the body, and decide now where you want it to be

And again, needle it on - right into the head, through to the body,
then around the felted bit right into the body, hard and deep strokes, to secure it all together.
Then needle all the fluff onto the body.

Sure thing the neck was far to skinny, so i had to build it up a bit.
Means - fluff wrapped around the neck, tagging it onto the head, tagging it onto the body, and then needling all around the neck, tight and secure.

That looks better, doesn’t it?

Next we fill the dent in on the back between the lower balls, and make the curving of the back

Fill the gap with little bits of wool, needle them in and add more.

next i made the curve on the top of the back, on the middle ball.

I also built up a bit more chest rounding because she was really flat chested :D

Next step are the tights. 
Take a sheet, draw a rough circle on it, fold the fluff into the middle - but leave 1 side fluffy

Needle away on it, to compress it a bit, and make it a bit smaller

When they are the size you like, needle them onto the ball.

Again, every seam needs to be secured with little wool sheets

I thought it looks to much like wheels, so i added a bit more onto the knees
