March 30 was the New Moon and as usual, I forgot to post a photo of my orts jar for the Totally Useless Stitch-A-Long aka TUSAL so here it is now. For info on the TUSAL, go here.
The cat is Katie Kitty from Brooke Nolan's Advent Animals SAL. She isn't finished in that picture but she is now. I've forbidden myself from starting any new projects but as soon as I saw this on Facebook (thanks, Sarah H!), I knew I had to do it. Besides, Katie Kitty was quick to stitch -- it only took three nights to do and that was because I did part of her jacket twice. The charts for the SAL will be free, with one released per month, and it will last until October 2015.
You can get the chart for Katie Kitty at the bottom of this page at Brooke's Books Publishing. You can see pics of the first three animals here on Liz's Tales of a Thread Spinner blog. They are so cute! You can use Liz's Dragonflylotus Designs Handspun Threads for the SAL and the chart also has the DMC colors listed. I used DMC. I didn't have any blue fabric so I stuck a small piece of white Aida in a Tupperwear full of Rit dye and some water and ended up with what you see above. Except in real life, it is REALLY BRIGHT BLUE.
