The Need To Stitch

 Yesterday was a true winter day. Blustery winds, snow and then a snow/rain mix and not the best roads made for some interesting travel yesterday. Although I would have rather stayed home and stitched, I had to go with hubby for his yearly appointment at the retina specialist because I'm the appointed driver for the trip home. It's quite funny to see him for the next few hours after the appointment, as they dilate his eyes and his pupils stay HUGE for those few hours. He has that "vampire" or "goul" look and he can't be around bright lights. 

While trying to decide on what to work on while waiting at the office, I came across NMI Waiting for Santa Coaster kit. (Item 3096). The coaster is cute but I laid it aside for a test project and never got back to it. I have that excuse a lot it seems. I'm really not going to test except maybe for Claire Slade of Verily Knits. Her designs are awesome and it's really not a test as much as a preview knit. 

I never took any type of project along with me, but did decide to start working on the coaster again. Here's where I was when I put it away:


We'll see how far I get. Hopefully a FFO by the end of the month. And to think those printed turtles started it all!
