Day 1

I picked up a few winter holiday cross stitch kits at my local reuse store recently, so that I might try a little stitching on my upcoming trip. I haven't been able to do cross stitch for a while, but my recent success at needlepoint gives me hope. I had my regular stitch-in today, so I got one kit set up and started, so I didn't have to begin in an airport:

I had to take a short break to pick up a kid from school, and when I got back, I decided to loom knit a little butterfly with some of the tail end of that bright pink variegated yarn:

It looks a little wonky to me; I suspect tension issues are involved.

I like the butterfly. Real nature is rarely completely symmetric.

So true!

Always good to see people's projects in process! I hope to do some of that later this month.
