Wildly Crafty

In cross-stitch, I'm currently stitching up Chatelaine's First Mystery Sampler which I got when the online class first started and only just started stitching on this year.  Crafting lately has been very slow, between World of Warcraft, book reviewing, working a couple of days a week at the shelter, and the volunteer work I've been doing, I just haven't been finding (or making) the time.  So far, I've got the outer border and one of the motifs from the first inside part done.

I hope to have this finished by September, since I'm signed up for a class with my guild and I know I'm going to want to make that one more.  I've gone back to trying to only work on one thing at a time, the rotation thing just wasn't working out for me.

In knitting, I've set aside my sweater to make another DNA scarf.  This was a request from Dave's cousin.  She asked me at her wedding, and she has a Ph.D in genetics, how could I refuse?  Actually I really don't mind, I really enjoyed making the first one.  The pattern is just complicated enough to be interesting, but not so complicated that it doesn't fly off the needles.  In KnitPicks Telemark, in black since they didn't have a nice emerald green.
