Yaaaaaa-- wait, that's like, eleven stitches. I won't bore you with the struggle it was just to get those few stitches in. I haven't touched cross-stitch since then; I'll get back to it eventually but argh. I'm a bit sad I didn't get any Halloween stitching in. I may be able to squeeze things in eventually but right now... I dunno. Guess I'm in a funk. Or maybe cross-stitch isn't as warm as yarny projects because...

I did finish another square for the CAL! This is number four of at least nine (I haven't fully decided I want a small afghan haha). I really liked this square though I still hate that black yarn. The yellow trim at the bottom of the sleigh was a different weight; I should've doubled up but didn't ah well. Next up is the
elf! He looks like he'll have a couple of fiddly rows where I have skeins of yarn draped everywhere with all the color changes, bah. I think I've finally learned my lesson about carrying yarn. As long as it's touching the same color, it's okay to carry it. If not, snip snip!
I'm still being bad with the ends. I'll get them in eventually, with much complaining. :D

I also managed to finish another dishcloth (using the same pattern). This time, I tried
really hard to control my tension and it shows! However if I knit any tighter it will be a waterproof dishcloth hahaha. I crocheted around the edge out of curiosity. I was expecting to cover the edge but apparently that doesn't happen! At the knitting group, it was suggested that I knit around the edge to achieve what I was going for.
Next up is a simple scarf (yarn bought but not cast on yet)! I am all gungho about socks and lace but it was strongly suggested that I increase my skills carefully hah. I see the logic but but but...... :)
I'm glad everyone else has been keeping busy with their stitchy goodness~ I'll return sometime.
