(almost) FO: Sam Simian
Usually I take socks and a larger project, socks for the car and the larger project in case I finish the socks.
This time--as much as I was tempted--I left the sock yarn and needles at home and only took one project, Sam. That meant no knitting for the car. Torture I tell you, torture! So I offered to drive part of the way and we listed to an audiobook and I survived.
Sam had my undivided attention and with *a lot* of sewing, stuffing, and weaving in ends, Sam went from this

to this.

He celebrated his birthday yesterday too! lol
Although I consider him to be 99.9% finished, he's doesn't agree.

Sam sans eyes
He's not going to be happy until he gets his eyes... and that's not going to happen until I can spend some time with embroidery floss and felt at home. Patience Sam, patience.
