Progress!

A progress update is long overdue. First up, the blanket I'm crocheting for my son; it measures approximately 34":

I haven't worked on "Living with Charm" in a while, so not much progress to show:

Lastly, a finish! I finished "Sunflowers" last month. I just need to get it framed:

2010 Review

Some finishes for 2010:

Finishes that I couldn't find images for include EMS Rose Sampler (cross stitch), and lined mittens for my son (knitting).

Although it appears I did mostly knitting and crochet, I did make progress on some cross stitch as well; I just don't have finishes. I did go through a stitching slump, but I also found myself suffering from startitis, and then losing interest in finishing. Some wips include L*K Living with Charm, Annie Beez Sunflowers, Stoney Creek's Fish City, and most recently a Christmas ornament from JCS, and Jeanette Crews' Snow Family. Hopefully 2011 will include more cross stitch finishes!

In Crafting News...

It's been a while, so I've got a bit of progress to report.

In cross stitch, I've been working diligently on Living with Charm and Sunflowers.

In knitting, I finished some dishcloths for my mom, and some slippers for my husband. Also, I've started a new scarf and some mittens for my son.

In crochet, I finished two dish mats, the first of which was previously seen here.

Monday Progress

A drive by posting today, complete with pictures. No finishes, just some progress to show on my projects.



The first picture shows a project that when finished will be a dish mat for washing dishes. It will be nice to have one large, decently absorbent piece of fabric rather than putting together a bunch of tea towels. Depending on how I like the finished piece, I'll be making a couple more of these.

2 Starts

I have wanted to start these two projects for quite a while now, and I started them on the same day! I hope to have some significant progress to show on Monday.

1) The project: Sunflowers by Annie Beez

2) The project: Living with Charm by Lizzie*Kate

My Progress:

In knitting, no further progress on my scarf. With the weather turning nicer, it's hard to get motivated to knit winter items. Instead, I'm thinking about spring and summer items to start. Now, I'm anxiously waiting to find the Spring/Summer Knit Simple in stores. I've found at least two tops that I'm interested in trying to knit for myself. See a preview here.

Startitis

I feel like starting something new. I'm still enjoying stitching Fish City, and I'm not ready to set it aside, but I have two other projects that I would love to get started on. I just would need to figure out a rotation that would work well so that no project gets neglected. The projects: Sunflowers by Annie Beez, and Living with Charm by Lizzie*Kate. I think I'll kit them up both up, and maybe start them sometime this week.

I have been working on Fish City this week. Update coming tomorrow!
