Sew Dance

Not quite as much done as last week, but I did take a bit of time to make a scarf. Almost 30 rows on page 2.

So to pick my project, I pulled out my drawer of WIPs, closed my eyes, waved my hand and then dropped it. Whatever project it landed on, I would work on. Turns out it's Alternative Reality. Got 16 rows done this week (only upside to still being out of work). Also had this little guy land on my project yesterday. I had it on my hand, went to get my phone and just as I was about to take the photo it flew off. Finally landed on my couch where I snapped the photo. Got it back on my hand and somehow managed to open my window and screen and get it to fly away. Not sure how it got in in the first place. And Clyde likes to jump in open cabinets. Silly cat.

And my wintery stitch is finished. Lots of random ivory french knots. And here's Clyde looking cute. Actually he's looking at my dad. Very energetic, is usually tearing around the house and not getting enough traction on the turns.

I decided to go back to a random number generator to pick my next cross-stitch project (with the help of my WIP/UFO list .) So I put my latch hook away... And it picked out White Tigers. Which I only worked on for two days due to the monochrome and the hard to read chart. So I rolled again and Beauty of the Deep. Didn't feel like doing stamped and searching for my hoop. So I rolled again and got Peacock Majesty. Which I knew I had to start off by frogging (which is why it's been put away for over a decade) So I rolled again and it gave me Dance me Out. Which turns out I had never started, which is fine, except I didn't have a working copy of the chart and I don't have a copier/printer. (I use my parents). So I rolled again and it gave me Winter Friends (actually called Snowman & Reindeer). Which was my at work project at News 12 (I had downtime between broadcasts) And remember the scared little black cat from last week? I think he's settled i...

I finished the afghan, just in time for the weather to be in the 60s and 70s here. Hehe. I didn't know what to work on next so I rolled a (digital) 3 sided die, it landed on other, so latch hook it is. I also bought a new pattern because it was clearance. And if you've gotten this far, congratulations, you get to meet Clyde, my parents new kitty. He's adjusting, still skittish if you walk near him (does better when you're low to the ground), but loves to be petted. Skinny little black cat with pale orange eyes who can really jump.

I just have a few more rows to do before I get to the border. So close. I'm already thinking of my next project, not sure if it will be crochet or cross-stitch. Or maybe I'll do a latch hook for a change. I know there's another HAED challenge starting in August, so may go back to Alternative Reality. Although I'm currently in the middle of a resume overhaul as my current one is not doing me any favors. Also working on my LinkedIn profile. Hunting for a job is hard.

I've finished with the middle panel and have reached the halfway mark on the afghan. I also picked up work for 1 day a week and decided to treat myself to two Character Creation charts from Ebay.
