I started a 2nd nalbinding hat, same yarn. But this time I started at the top. As a hat, it is less than successful. As a bag, it's not horrible. I do have a gaping hole where I missed a stitch or something, but I used some of the leftover yarn to make a lucet braid & just tied the hole shut; but semi-decoratively. I still need a drawstring for it, though.
I am working on a new card case for my gift cards, etc. It's a simple pattern, but I couldn't resist some changes. And I think I left out the seam allowance, so I did some piecing to add extra fabric to create seam allowance. Until it's done, I mended my current card wallet.
I started a pair of nalbinding wrist warmers, in acrylic again (yay knots), but smaller yarn so it's likely to look lacier. I think I need to work on my tension, I keep finding holes.
I am finished retro-tatting on the round robin doily from the online tatting class. Forward progress again.
I took a bag of stuff to Scrap Exchange this past weekend. Some of it was 'get it out of the house, I'm not going to use it' and some of it was 'if I don't take this, it's going to be thrown away.' While I was there, I found some fleece to use for a plush toy (I have the pattern, I just need to actually work on it) and some more Formica samples for Tri-Tatters luggage tags.
Three of us took the day off from work yesterday to hang out and go see a matinee of the Dungeons and Dragons movie, Honor Among Thieves. The theater has reclining seats; very comfy. Happily, the movie did crest the very low bar set by earlier DnD movies and there were a couple Easter eggs for long time DnD folks.
