2020 updates - Week 5 - Tapestry, blackwork, and socks!

Some of this will be a repeat of the January check-in, but still wanted to keep my weekly posts

This week had a bit of everything.  It started with a bit of a panic to find yarn for a sock class on Saturday.  I needed 2 coordinating colours... Now I have a bunch of sock yarn... but most is multi-colour or self striping.  I wouldn't have been able to get to my LYS (Yarn it!) until Thursday night, and worried this wouldn't give me enough time to get a toe done for the class.  Thankfully I found something I think will work well, and managed to also get 1/2 the toe done... all on Monday night.

These are the colours I finally choose.
That bag at the back is new.. .isn't is the cutest! Check out Gail's etsy page to get your own

Wednesday is the release of the weekly Peppermint Purple - A Year of Blackwork SAL part.  I had to go to a clients today, so couldn't finish all in the morning, but managed to finished Wednesday night.  I am all caught up on this, and will hopefully start my border in February.

Thursday and Friday saw a bit more work on Tapestry.

I am going to try my hardest to stick with this until I get a finish!  It will return as soon as my top February Goals are done

Speaking of February, Saturday morning before my sock class I started my monthly ornament.
This month was Christmas Bullfinch from the JCS 2019 ornament issue.

After the ornament was finished Sunday morning, I pulled out Words to live by from The Tiny Modernist.
Not much progress, but a bit done on the border

Hope everyone had a great week... and who else is glad the grayness of January is over!!!

2020 Updates - Week 1&2

How is it January 12th already???

Since January 1st I have been working on my Let it Snow from Barbara Anna Designs

I haven't stopped working on this since, and finished it Saturday night (11th)...
YES! My first Finish of 2020

Saturday after I finished Let It Snow, I started my January Ornament.  This month I am doing Moose Joy from the JCS Xmas '19 issue.
I picked a random 32ct linen small and thread I had on hand, and finished this up on Sunday afternoon.
YES! 2nd finish of 2020

Plans/Goals update
Starting Let is snow was #1 on the January list, so that can have a check mark!
Stitching an ornament was #2, so that can also have a check mark!

I have also decided to add a SAL for the year.  I have LOVED everything from Peppermint Purple I have stitched, so when she came out with a 52 week SAL how could I resist!

I started mine Sunday afternoon after the ornament, and got the first 2 weeks done.  I plan to keep up with these each week

January 2020 Plans

I have been worried about making goals for my stitching lately.
2019 wasn't the greatest year that that carried into my stitching as well.

Back in 2018 making plans each month really helped motivate me though, so I'm going to try and re-start that this year.

January 2020 Plans

• Start Let it Snow - SAL with Dani, Christin, Kathy, Becca
• Stitch an ornament
• Stitch on First saying block (Technically part 2) on Words to live by
• Make progress on one of my older WIPS - Canada Sampler or Tapestry
• RESIST STARTING ALL THE THINGS!
