I've used that red plastic thread to grid with. What do you think of it?
I found it was ok once I actually had it all gridded correctly, but I found those little end pieces kept getting caught in my thread, and I really had to watch out for that. Also, it bothered me a little how, where the threads met, the hole would be a bit larger than the others, which I could still see after my piece was completed. (Yes, I looked too hard) Anyway, I'm interested to know what you thought of it.

I don't have much to report for this WIPocalypse, but thanks to the Middle Earf SAL I have something! So here goes:

So that's what five days of after-work stitching when one has a bunch of papers and group projects due looks like. I honestly don't think it looks too shabby, if I do say so myself.
Besides that, Halloween was awesome. I dressed up as Batman and all the little kids wanted to get their picture taken with Batman and give Batman a high five and show him how far they could jump. Here are a couple of pictures:

I had SO MUCH FUN with that cape. I was swishing it around everywhere and at one point Handsome Helpful Boyfriend just looked at me and asked, "did you just woosh your cape at me?" Yes honey. Yes I did.
