June 2019 Upate

This month doesn't even seem blog worthy... except for the first pic!

STITCHING

• June 8 - Trista picked up my Fairy Alighting at the framers for me.  SOOOOOO happy with how this one turned out!  The fabric is from Hand Dyed by Stephanie.

• WIP Progress - I seemed to have only focused on the red and the black this month, and of course I didn't take a full progress pic... so here is just one of the area

May 2019 update

I'm behind on my updates... again
I know... shock face!

STITCHING

• May 5 - Got Coffee Quaker back from the framers.  Very happy with how it looks!

• WIPS worked on.  I feel like I worked on more, but don't have pictures to prove it.

• Tapestry (Ink Circles)

• Zen Garden (HAED)

KNITTING

• May 3rd - Finished my Blue socks (vanilla pattern, fleegle heel, Alegeria Ming)

• May 5 - Finished my sockhead hat in Lizzie Anne Seaglass.  As my LYS owner mentioned, I need to get a proper pic of this :)

• May 11 - My friend Trista and I went out for the day and stopped at a bunch of yarn shops that were participating in a yarn crawl.  Highlights included talking to Rhichard Devrieze and holding a day old baby lamb!

LIFE

• On May 21st I started my 2nd new job of 2019.... yes I know... CRAZY.  I am back in public practice, and SO MUCH happier where I am now.  So many factors lead me to switching jobs, but so happy I did

February 2019 update

This was another slow month due to many things, but mostly busy work schedule.

Stitching is up first, Knitting will be at the end.

STITCHING

Ornament
I managed to get my ornament done early this month.  I picked JOY from Rovaris in the 2018 Just Cross Stitch ornament issue

Tapestry

This came out to play for a bit... but not much progress.  I really want this one done!

The Red and The Black

I did make a bit of progress on this one from Prairie Moon.  I am still enjoying this one and plan to pick it up again soon!

Feather SAL

I finally got my fabric and was able to start.  I got the first feather done, and a large part of the outline.  I am not horribly behind yet, and will hopefully catch up soon with most of the outlines done.

KNITTING

Grotine Shawl

I spotted this shawl when Song Bird Fibres shared it on Instagram stories.  The proceeds from the sale of this pattern go directly to True North Aid which does practical support for Northern First Nations Communities.  Caroline Dick (ElectricTree on IG) is the designer.  Song Bird is also donating  an extra bit if you use their yarn, which I AM!!

Retreat

During the long weekend in February I attended a knitting retreat just outside of Meaford Ontario.  it was an AMAZING weekend with no stress.  I worked on my red socks most of the time while there.

There were also a lot of finishes that weekend... including a knitting puzzle!

I will go with these  ladies again in a heartbeat!!

Red Harbour Socks

I got a lot of progress done on my socks at retreat, and managed to get them done on the 22nd.  I used my usual vanilla sock pattern, but added the Petty Harbour pattern for texture.  i was also VERY happy with how the heel went!

Sockhead hat

After getting my sockhead cowl done, I started on my matching hat.. I am doing both in Beach Glass from Lizzie Ann Yarns.  There will also be matching socks at some point :)

Here is my cowl for reference:

Here is where i have gotten to on the hat:
