Sew Dance

I continued to work on Sassy Cat. Coincidentally my throat started feeling odd. I don't know if it was the sudden cold weather or the fact that I was working with wool yarn that shed when I separated the strands. I'm allergic to wool, but can work with it. Assuming I don't inhale it apparently. So I put Sassy away. And made a wreath. The snowman glows. So did not realize it did that when I bought the kit. And yesterday since I was somewhat brain dead and needed something somewhat mindless (but not quite as mindless as repetitive crochet rows) I pulled this guy out of my closet. Managed to finish the half stitches. Now to backstitch with metallic thread.  My extra ball of yarn came to finish the tree skirt. And somehow I've been slowly catching up to where I should be for NaNoWriMo. Excuse me while I go write. The first 20 chapters (as of the initial posting of this blog) can be found here.

So I got this far on the tree skirt. 12 motifs and the beginning of the edging. Realized I didn't have enough gold yarn to complete the 2nd stripe. Thankfully the company is sending me another one. In the meantime, I'm working on Sassy Cat. I actually was going to pull out a Christmas kitten kit I had, but this one jumped out of the drawer when I opened it. Literally. So I took it as a sign and started stitching after sorting the wool.
