Yarn Under my Fingers

Last week was a doozy. (See this week's Thursday and Friday posts when they appear.) But I managed to pull out a project I started a while ago...

...that I haven't written about before. Fancy that. 

Well, it's not like there's much to say about it. My Ravelry projects page tells me I started it in October. Then I set it aside and kind of forgot about it. 

I had this thought about the blanket yarn I had acquired. I made a couple blankets out of it, but I had some excess, and I wasn't sure what to do with it. Then I got the bright idea to make a stuffed something out of it. I went online and found a pattern I liked. I printed out the pattern, and I got a few rounds done. And then I set it aside and got busy with other things. 

A week or so ago I remembered it. I pulled it out. And on Saturday I got a few more rounds done. 

It doesn't look like anything yet. 

It's pretty big as the yarn is thick. 

If you can see the holes there, those will become ears. It's going to be a cat pillow. (See the link for how the finished item is supposed to look.) 

I'm not even sure if I'm going to have enough gray yarn (although I have other colors, so this cat might end up being striped). But this isn't for anyone but me. Just to see if I can. 

And hey, I got some stitches made this week. Considering everything, that's quite the accomplishment. (It was a week! And somehow I ended up right in the middle of it.)
