Cryptid 1

The designer of this piece of dark fun is WitchyStitcher. Called Cryptid – the frame was released last month and the first critter was released yesterday. Mothman (and I am linking you to the excellent Wiki article) also was featured in a 2010 horror film. Apparently a few members of my family have seen it.

Not I.

Anyway.

This is Mothman.

Cryptid – Part 1 – Mothman

The fabric is a 16ct Aida (Charles Craft) hand dyed by MyVintageNeedleArts in Sweet Potato. It is the absolute best Halloween background color yet.

Threads are a combination of DMC & Anchor Black along with DMC Diamanté and some light effects combined with a few quiet shades of DMC. It is a lot of Black. I have my own black cone of doom.

This SAL will last till early January. One part releases every week x3 a month (which gives all of us some catch up time. I am hopeful that this will be my only carryover, but I am not holding my breath.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
