stellar_muddleJack decided to get very involved with my sandels while they were still on. This got a little disturbing, so I took then off and he went into raptures over them for a while before cuddling up to one and falling asleep. Curious cat, but kinda cute.
Less cute was him doing the usually cute chin butt while on my lap just as I was raising the mug of milo to my mouth. Didn't get any on him, so he stayed put and purred while I muttered slightly and let my lap and chest dry in the sunlight. I'm still smelling slightly of milo.
Feeling restless, especially given Z is off at work and will come home and want to collapse at the end of the day. Tomorrow will have a bit of variety, but the past 2 days have been a bit... blah. Not bad, just bored. Spent some time looking up blackwork stuff to conclude that, no, no Elizabethan blackworked sweet bags documentable (despite that being a popular blackworking shape and pattern NOW). Then dug out the hankie sampler and finished one of the bits on that. And dug out the chemise for getting on with - it would be more useful to finish the started projects then start new ones and I shouldn't really turn into distractobunny*.
Bad enough I am thinking about (and have the fabric for) either a white linen woman's basic undertunic (with sleeves that are the right length rather than the anglo-saxon get in the way too long ones - just bad for camping) or a basic (camping) outfit for me of male early period garb (either Viking or Anglo-Saxon passible) - undertunic, tunic and trousers. Not certain if the trouser pattern I use for Z (more migration eraish) works well around a female arse/hips/waist though. And Z has 1st bags on a tunic from the natural linen, so I would have to cut out a tunic for him before doing one for me, to make sure there was enough fabric. Can't remember which of his tunics is favourite for fitting off.
At least I have one more naalbinded sock done. This brings the collection finished to 3 (someday I will get around to making a post on the sock progression). This appears to be the most wearable one (and it looks most like the Coppergate sock), so now I need to make another one for the right foot. There is already 1/4 of a toe started.
Rambling too much now, need to start dinner.
