I actually wanted to do a small crochet project before getting back to stitching after all those deadlined projects, but I couldn't really get into it so it's on hold for now. Almost finished though, so you might see it soon. Instead, I spent most of my free time working on the kitties - I just learned the deadline for those will be August 2nd, with shipping and everything considered I guess I should finish this before I leave for Prague on Sunday morning. But it's looking good so far, the kittens themthelves are done now and I only need to add the grass and flowers.
To be honest, I'm almost tempted to leave it like that - those two are much more cute than I imagined them to be! - but I'm also eager to stitch the flowers, I love stitching colorful stuff, so I guess that won't happen ^_^ Most of kitten 2 was done over the weekend, so I guess this qualifies as an IHSW post after all :D
For my evenings, Lady has been swapped out with a knitting project, a sweater, I started yeeeears ago and then kinda abandoned. Took me a while to get back into the pattern, and some days I was knitting more backwards than forwards, but I think I got the drill now - this is just the kind of repetetive work I need to relax before going to bed. Also made some considerable progress yet, going from 18 to 32 rows:

I'm a sucker for the kittens ^_^.
The kittens are too cute! Who is the sweater for? I love the bright red. Are you doing the slip stitch on the sides to attach the rest to later? Is that the backside or a sleeve? I've never knitted a sweater so this is why I ask so many questions :D
They are cute, aren't they? Not quite as awesome as your kitty litter, but cute nevertheless :D
The sweater is for myself...it's a rather light microfiber yarn, and it's going to be a light, short-sleaved sweater, so not really a sweater I guess, but I still call it that :D It was a kit a bought a few years ago actually, and it's worked in only to pieces to be sewn together (I guess I'll crochet them together though), right now I'm working on the back. I never knitted anything besides a scarf and a not-quite-right cap, so I'm a little nervous how it will turn out :D
OMG I love the kitties!!! The gray one reminds me of my own. :)
The friend I'm making it for has two cats just like those, brother and sister :D
