Fibre Flubs
Diana missed a round in the cable on her sock and is living with it. She also had to redo the cast on for the #acrosstheprairiesKAL a couple of times.
Yarn on the Go
Jocelyn hosted a knit club picnic in her front yard. Diana took her sock to some role playing games, namely Dungeons and Dragons and Shadowrun.
Sew Little Time
Jocelyn is working out the modifications of a cosplay coat pattern using the lining fabric. She is also working on some project bags.

Diana decorated her hand with henna at her work craft club. She also finished making her hair jewelry for her wedding.
