I've seen some progress on many of my projects. The color work sweater is slow going and has one more color to be knit in the yoke, then it's basic sweater knitting from the top down until I get to the color band just above the bottom rib. I will have to adjust the neckband a bit since I did it on size 4 needles instead of the called for 3s. It looked a little high in the pictures and I hate anything too close to my throat. I did pick up a Vivid blanket square and knit on that too. It will eventually be finished.
The cross stitch projects are coming along nicely with about 80% of the "Curious Cats" (cats and tea service) one done. There's lots of backstitch left to do and a couple of small areas to fill in. I love using my new floor stand with the "Lighthouse 3" and "Christmas Tree and Birds" ones. It makes it much more comfortable to work on them. There's tons left on both of them to do.
Only a little spinning has been done. I'm just not in the mood for it at the moment.
Still no yarn purchases have been made this year. I was tempted to buy a couple braids of fiber, but closed the shop window and didn't do it. I slipped up early in the Spring. I bought only did one purchase of colored fiber, and one of undyed . I'm shopping the stash for everything. I plan to continue doing that next year too.
My cat, Buddy, has suddenly become much more attentive, is talkative, and wants snuggles. I find him sleeping in my recliner most mornings. He will come over, head butt my leg and look at me for a treat. He's also taking them from my hand which he never did before. He's 15 so it's probably just old age settling in. I noticed a couple of my other cats got mellow as they aged.
