Cuddle Party
Everyone needs contact comfort sometimes. Not everyone has ample opportunities for this in facetime. So here is a chance for a cuddle party in cyberspace. Virtual cuddling can help people feel better.
We have a cuddle room that comes with fort cushions, fort frames, sheets for draping, and a weighted blanket. A nest full of colorful egg pillows sits in one corner. There is a basket of grooming brushes, hairbrushes, and styling combs. A bin holds textured pillows. There is a big basket of craft supplies along with art markers, coloring pages, and blank paper. The kitchen has a popcorn machine. Labels are available to mark dietary needs, recipe ingredients, and level of spiciness. Here is the bathroom, open to everyone. There is a lawn tent and an outdoor hot tub. Bathers should post a sign for nude or clothed activity. Come snuggle up!
In honor of the season, I have brought the Delectable Turkey of Gratitude and mashed carnival squash. Let the potlatch begin!

Re: *enters with project bag*
Most of what's happening right now is on my right side, so I'm bringing my left side over to you. As long as your body alignment doesn't get any closer to my front than about 10 o'clock (where 12 is straight in front of me), we'll be fine.
OK, let's go with "variegated" for what you're working with. It'll be interesting to see how the various yarns work with each other. So far, so good.
The repair part mostly wasn't hard, although there were a couple of cases of a dropped stitch going down five or six rows (but only a couple of those). Just tedious, and far too frequent.
The nice thing is that now that the first piece has been started the way it needs to be, the rest of the finicky work can use it as a place to connect to so I don't have to worry about things flopping around and not coming out right because of that. That will speed things up quite a bit.
Looking forward to exchanging pics next cuddle party.

Ya, I'm curious to see how the wool behave with a pattern, as opposed to just straight knit. Hopefully it looks alright, but the frame has turned out well so I'm happy.
Ah. I'm glad it wasn't too tricky. I'm not sure I would have been able to do repairs like that; I'm still learning how to fix mistakes.
Having connection places does sound convenient. Things that speed up the process are always nice.
I'm looking forward to being able to exchange pics too. Having a finished piece to show will be nice, and I'm interested to see how your work turns out.
