TUP rambling T7R3

The last round has not even started of Nerdwars T7 and we have our Team Unity Project  picked.  We just have to wait until April 1st for the challenges to be announced.  Then we can pick whichever we can use for Team Unity.  Sadly, our team did not get any team unity points on Round 2 as not enough of us submitted projects.  We only needed 40% and we did not make it.  Groan..

Anyroad, we need to make something for Joss Whedon based on a team crossover with Team Browncoats.  I'm guessing we will see lots of Jayne hats.   Here is an interview with Joss by Kim Werker of CrochetMe.

Finally made it to halfway with my first (and hopefully not last) February Lady.

Practiced and practiced the buttonhole technique but I just could not get it to look right so I used a double YO for a medium size buttonhole.   The February Lady at 288 stitches a row is going slowly for me plus I sprained my wrist shoveling the knee high snow last week.  My mom called last night worried that I would get caught in the "blizzard" she'd heard on a forecast for today.  Fortunately when I looked outside, same old snow.  Nothing new.   The predicted snowstorm will probably go south.

This T7 of Nerdwars has some different rules.   Each successive round offers more points.  I am used to doing fewer projects in the second round so as to make more progress on my big project for the check in at the end of the month.  Better get stitching!   I have three small projects printed out and ready to go.  Our Team Unity Project is partnering with Team Impala to tie in a flashback from Supernatural.  Since Jessica burning up on the ceiling is technically a flashback as it's in the show's opening,  I want to crochet a red and orange dishcloth.  Yeah.  I think that will work.
