I am working on learning nalbinding finally and my teacher told me I have to make at least one "catapiller" every day this week and then she'll show me something new next week. It's very medatative. I feel silly making 7-8 inch long strands. It feels a bit like a waste of wool.

Am trying to talk myself into working on the custom cat I need to finish. I don't wanna because it's a real bitch with all the color changing on the face and legs to do. XP

That sounds like a huge pain in the rear... you should do it!

Mek I wanna eat your avi

Trying to find one of my yarn winders so I can separate out some balls of the black and white yarns to make the color changes more seamless when it comes to sewing the face up.
As I discovered with the body, if I don't twist the yarns at each side of the color changes, I end up with a lot of loose stitches to sew up later. XP

You should eat my avi. It is delicious and nutritious. It is flu season, make sure you are eating hearty meals.

Oooh ball winder is nice. I have to do mine by hand. Does yours really work?

Mine are pretty simple ones you have to crank by hand, but they work pretty well. The one that clamps to the table is better than the other one because I can turn the handle crank with one hand and use the other hand to keep the yarn tension so it makes a good yarn cake instead of a misshapen lump.
Lol.

Yay! schlorp
Delicious

Have mapped out rows for the cat face and am working on it now. And holy hell my yarn is looking like such a freaking mess....
Hopefully it turns out pretty close so I don't have to re-do it. XP

Here's hoping it turns out well

Some time in the future this page is gonna look weird cuz mek changed their avi

Cat face is about half made. Have 3 more rows on the second ear to finish row 10 out of 21 rows. XP
It's hard to tell, but I think it may look okay so far...

working on my sleeve things.

I want to change my avi but despite having a lot of stuff, I don't have much that matches
Oof

Meow.

kitty!

that's adorable!

It was a massive pain in the ass and I think I did the ear rows backwards so the back side of the cat is actually mirrored from how it's supposed to be. And I did too much black on one side of the face and because it was such a bitch to make I did the "lazy" fix, instead of remaking the head, and just attempted to stitch over the black stitches with white yarn.
Except a couple small threads/stitches, I don't think that's too noticeable though.

Now just gotta make 2 legs, remake 1 other leg, and finish assembling!
