Progess and stuff

 I need to fix a tatted bracelet and I finally found the correct thread to do so. That's my next project. I've been working on tatting a couple aliens (Jane Eborall's 2023 TIAS) for a friend who recently turned 51. I have one in bright green just done and next is one in grey. Need to hide ends.

 

I finished 4th round of the Round Robin doily, but I need to block it and hide the ends. So yes, this photo is a bit sloppy.

 

No progress on the wrist warmers. I can't find the instructions for finishing off a project (do I just pull the yarn through the last stitch?). 

I've down to 2 pairs of (mended) work slacks, so as I got to that point, I've been going to the thrift shop to find more. Until this past Saturday, I was out of luck. I found 3 pairs (wow)! Two of them even have full sets of pockets, although the 3rd pair has those fake front pockets. When I have time, I can amend that.

Our DnD 5e game progresses. At least 2 of the PCs think we're on a wild goose chase and think we got this assignment to get us out of the way while the matter is really being handled at home. 2 PCs had backstory elements we were able to use to get more information for the next leg of the trip. I'm still not sure we have a grasp of the combat, though. And especially the short rest/long rest thing.

We also had a Pathfinder game this past weekend. We finished another stage in the adventure, without dying, although it was close. Two of the PCs were out of any spells above cantrip level and the healer was down to about a third of her spells/channels.

Quick post

 Brrr, after summer-like weather, we got a shot of early spring weather; all cold and rainy. I worked remotely Thursday and had Friday off. I was glad to not need to go out. 

A few months ago, one of my coworkers had a visitor. That's my coworker's office window, which is below ground, so there's an open well to get light. And this rabbit fell inside and couldn't get out. What maneuvers we went through to get the rabbit out. But they were successful. 

More nalbinding and stuff

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.
