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

March 2019 update

The first part of 2019 hasn't been the best for me.
Things have started to turn around, and hopefully I can update you all soon!

In the meantime, I will try and an update on what I have (and haven't) been doing.



Ornament
I did manage to stitch on an ornament in March, thanks to Christin for kitting and bringing to retreat!

Ink Circles - Sherbert Flake

The Red and the Black
I worked on the Prairie Moon pattern during the March retreat.

Death by Cross Stitch
Death by cross stitch from Long dog got a tiny bit of progress

Feather SAL
I also got the outlines on the feathers done on the Peppermint Purple SAL done this month

Zen Garden
While at retreat, I say many people working on full coverage pieces.  It reminded me I was gifted a beautiful Heaven and Earth from my amazing friend Emily.  When I came home, I had to start it!  Thankfully I had a piece of 40ct of fabric that was the correct size.

Zen Garden - HAED

Here is my progress during March

KNITTING

Socks
I finished my Red Harbour Socks

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:

2018 Catch up

Where did the last 3 months of 2018 go?  I swear I still can't figure it out!

So I have finally managed to get around to getting a 2018 catch up post done.  I hope I don't miss anything

STITCHING

• Oct 7'18 - Finished the Dutch Tile SAL.  I REALLY enjoyed this! and can't wait to do another SAL with Peppermint Purple.

• Oct 14'18 - Finished November Year in Chalk

• Oct 20'18 - Finished the Durene Jones cat freebie which at the retreat in Michigan (which was awesome, and I have already signed up for next year)

• Nov 2'18 - Finished December Year in Chalk

• Nov 3'18 - While at retreat, I stitched up the Whatever Bitch Unicorn for myself.  I had an extra piece of fabric with me, so Christin stole it and did one for herself.

• Nov 11'18 - FINALLY got around to starting my "Unicorn" pattern, The Red and The Black from Prairie Moon.  I will be doing this on white with a teal accent to hopefully match my stash room some day.

• Dec 26'18 - For the past few years, my friend Becca and I have done a SAL together that starts on the 26 (cause we couldn't wait to do a new start on the 1st of January).  Last year we talked our friend Trista into joining us with Coffee Quaker.  This year, we were talking about it at retreat, and it turned into a bigger SAL.  Dani, Christin, Rebecca, Trista, and Kathy to name a few joined in.

• I also kept my ORTS all year and made into my yearly ornament.  This year I found some cute shaped ornaments to stuff the little bits into.
