I think my major problem was I couldn't decide on what to work so I ended up starting THREE new projects - like I need more!
First up was both my SALS. Sweet treats was fine, and I can see this coming along quickly once I get back in to my stitching mind.
Dressmakers Daughter proved more of a challenge. This is my first project I have ever done on Linen so I am plodding along slowly. Fingers crossed once I get the hang of it I'll be fine. The first section is supposed to be done by the end of the month - not very likely!
Finally I worked on something different. A group of stitchers on Facebook seem to also be having trouble locating their stitching bug so have decided to do a HAL (Hook a long) in the form of some latch hook rugs (insert smutty joke about been hookers here).
I have never done this before but I must say so far I am enjoying it, its really easy and good for those days when your head just can't get in to stitching.
But in the grand scheme of things I still have a long way to go...

Wow 3 new projects, well done on your progress. Latch hooking can be lots of fun. I did a Christmas one a few years ago and really enjoyed it. Can't wait to see more of yours.
ReplyDeleteYes, it seems fun so far, just a shame they are so expensive!
DeleteStarting a new project is so much easier than deciding which one to work on....but THREE?!!! :) Heehee...good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think I will need it :)
DeleteEmma, don't worry. Stitching on linen is easier than it seems but it gives more satisfaction than aida. If you need help, write me.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I learnt stitching on linen with a magnifying-lamp and now I'm pretty fast.
