Top-of-the-Waves Tuesday...
...and the weekend report.
I spent most of my craft time machine quilting Seaside Dreams. Stitching all of the fish and shells in the center panel is very fiddly and tiring. I'm getting closer to finishing the panel. I need to decide how much of the background to quilt. If I don't do the background there will be large areas without quilting, which might cause the batting to shift during washing.
I finished plying Dragon Scales handspun [Ravelry]:
and the close up:
Specs:
Merino-Tencel (4 oz.) from Greenwood Fiberworks
Started 1/26/19
Finished 3/2/19
162 yds. chain-ply; 13 WPI
I finished knitting the Earth and Sky Hat [Ravelry]:
Specs:
Started 2/21/19
Finished 3/3/19
Pattern: Loosely based on Slouchy Beehive Hat by Flora Cheung
Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver Multis in Earth and Sky
I'm not completely happy with the hat. The yarn pooled oddly, did not feel soft, and was splitty. It's OK, but I won't use that yarn again.
I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get the cat to eat. She has early kidney disease and has turned into a picky eater and won't eat the special prescription food. She meows when she's hungry (about every 2-3 hours at night), meows if she doesn't like the food, meows when she drinks water, and just meows in general. A food she eats today, she'll hate tomorrow...it's exhausting trying to keep her somewhat healthy.
