Bach the Zombie Cat

I feel a bit like the undead today, as I work on my zombie cat cross-stitch. It's actually a pattern that I adore called Bach. I refer to Bach as a zombie because I have only finished one eye. In fact, I lost the pattern for the other eye. So, poor Bach may continue to look like he came back from the pet cemetery.

Bach cross-stitch

 
This is only my second attempt at cross-stitch. The first is also unfinished, because I didn't know working on a black background would be such an eyeball breaker. It's also a large piece, so I decided to give it a rest until I get some more experience under my belt.

I am excited to finish Bach the Zombie Cat. At that point, I can move on to something new. I want to try knitting a scarf, even though I find it a bit intimidating. I bought Knit Aid by Vickie Howell today, and I now feel more confident delving into this craft.
