All Hallowed Kitties (aka Thunder’s Cuff). In spite of one obstacle after another, my brick stitch black cats are finished before Halloween!

NEDbeads October prompt was brick stitch.
Brick stitch and I get along fine for creating patterns. We don’t like each other much for the stitching part. For larger pieces, I end up working them in panels and zipping them together. Here is my first panel, with a little brick ghost test piece up at the top. (Sorry for the quality, it’s a tablet photo.)
Here is the graph I made for the cat if you would like to try your own or make a pair of earrings.

A sleepy Lacey modeling her new thunder shirt/winter coat. She was greatly annoyed that I interrupted her nap just to take her picture. This is a new test pattern, I still need to write it up.

Ben & Duffy’s new tug toy. It’s my crochet version of the terry cloth Loofa dog toy. Now that I’ve figured out the basic design, I can work on the heads and faces.

Every month Nancy Dale at NEDbeads has a beading prompt. The August prompt was spirals and I managed to finish mine on the last day. This is a (modified) Dutch Spiral rope turned into a bracelet. This is one of my favorite stitches but I’ve always thought of it as a beads version of a bad-hair-day when photographed.

Big Ben loves his Pudgy Elephant! The other dogs have been getting the stink eye all morning because they kept trying to steal it.
