It was a really nice day, so I took my online stitch-in outside.
For part one, I wound about 8.5 2 ounce skeins of cotton yarn for washing. (I rescue second hand yarn for reuse. As a general policy, I wash all yarn before introducing it to my stash, and I prefer to be outside to wind the yarn for washing)

[ID: 4 different hanks of variegated cotton yarn, tied for washing. End ID]
For part two, I stitched the feet on the mouse (I only had to frog four stitches!). And on my way back inside, I found my missing green thread in the laundry corridor (it must have stuck to my clothing and then fallen off), so I also stitched the final holly leaf.

[ID: A cross stitch project in progress, showing a gray mouse wearing a turquoise scarf; the feet are now stitched in. Holly leaves in dark green thread are stitched at the top and bottom of the mouse. End ID]
