On Saturday, I made my trip into Madison and hit the pet store to replace the broken cat litter shovel (don't ask). Then I continuted on to Lakeside Fibers. I found a nice US 11 circular and *ahem* brought home a few other items, since I'm certainly not one to waste a trip out of the house, Cookie. I found two books by Lily Chin. A few more hanks of Cascade 220 made there way into my stash for mittens and weaving materials.
Finishing has been occuring more often at my house in the past year or two. Since it is Autumn, I thought it high time to finish this little needlepunch project. It is my first (almost) finished needlepunch and I love the texture of the project. I found a frame at Michael's yesterday that will contribute to the finishing of this project. The background came from my stash of quilting fabrics. *g*
I'm proud of you, Angie. Mustn't waste a trip out into the world. ;^)
Isn't it the most annoying thing ever to have one of those scoop thingies snap on you? I cannot believe how much people have the nerve to charge for those things, either. /cranky&cheap
What a lovely little kitty project!

ACK!!! Do not make me think about the unfinished needle punch project sitting in my basket. If I head in there, these socks will never get finished, nor the WAL, and I'll be overcome by guilt for all of the unfinished cross stitch and embroidery things that are hanging around.
ENABLER!!!! By the way, that's a cute one. I'll have to crack out my mags and stash now to find a cute autumn one.

I've never done needlepunching before but yours looks great. I doubt if I could fit one more thing on my plate though.
sigh
Need more hours in the day.
And more money in the bank.

I don't think I ever made official note of the needles I used for Williamsro -- I'm pretty sure I went down to 11, though, too. Just remember that while the Cash Iroha has no real elasticity on its own, the finished fabric WILL relax and stretch.

OMG!!! I love it!!! I tried needlepunching once, and have a needle (somewhere), and monksfabric (somewhere).
I don't need another project. Argh! ;)
