2019 ORTS

For a number of years, I have kept my ORTS until December 31st each year.

Then, on January 1, I put into a clear ornament and start again.

2019 will be my 8th ornament

I plan to do the same in 2020, and I might even attempt TUSAL again

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.

KNITTING

• Oct 3'18 - Finished first pair of socks (I called them Orange Vanilla)

• Nov 10'18 - Finished 2nd pair of socks and hitchhicker beyond shawl

• Dec 16'18 - Finished first hat, the volcan hat (named for the yarn)

• Dec 23'18 - Finished 3rd pair of socks, my fairy lights socks

The ort report - 2017 edition

On the morning of January 1st, I did what I have done for a few years now.... clear out the orts from the prior year to get ready for the current year.

Also for the past few years, I have made an ornament out of my orts.

This year I am going to partake in TUSAL again... I just hope I can keep up with it!
Here are my orts and ort ornament for 2017

2016 ORT report

First step this morning was cleaning out the small and big ort jars

Orts from the past few months



All my 2016 Orts



And then all layed out - many colours



Like I have in the past few years, I have made an ornament out of my Orts. I now have 5 of these pretties :)



One of the things I hope to do is TUSAL if DaffyCat will continue... fingers crossed!
