Carbuncle is nearing completion! It took longer than I expected - I thought I could whip it up in a day, but it's taken four days so far with at least an hour of work each day. I need to attach the ears and nose, make eyes (I started the eyes tonight but I am using black floss for them and I can't see the stitches this late at night), do the back stripes, and finish the tail. I think I should be able to finish tomorrow. Tuesdays are usually non-busy for me.

I also took a break from Carby yesterday and worked on my crocheted hoodie. The hood is complete and I've started the body. It's a good thing I can read stitches in both knitting and crochet, because my stitch count is off a bit - I have more than I should. I decided not to sweat it, because it's not drastically more and besides I'd rather err on the big side. I'm just making sure to place the raglans correctly. Hopefully this will work fine.
