But this is my IHSW post, even though it involves Olympic stitching, so let's get on with the stitching. I've decided to attempt a few tasks this Olympics. One is to try and knit a sweater for DD and this is here so far:
I forget the name of the yarn, but it has her 2 current favourite colours, purple and white. It was just purple for a while, and for a long time when she was little, we were sure it was yellow, but she's decided it's purple and white currently.
This is one full ball so far. I think I have to knit maybe one more ball before the shaping begins, but we'll see how it goes. I like how it's almost self-striping, it's making a neat pattern.
For stitching I'm still working away on Ballerina Dreams and am here now:
I don't have too much progress since I'm also trying to stitch on one project that I haven't touched in a while for each day of the Olympics. I don't necessarily stitch every day, but I'm trying to pull out one project for each day of the Olympics, therefore stitch on 16 different projects between February 9 and February 26th.
This weekend I managed to pull out several projects and moved them along. Since I haven't touched them in a while, I'll try and add before photos too:
Snow Rules - last touched February 23, 2016
February 17, 2018
See Ya Later Alligator - last touched April 15, 2016
Monochrome Link - last touched January 5, 2016

So lots of random stitching on different projects and I'll try and get another post up soon since I've missed Gifted Gorgeousness again!
Happy Stitching and hope you're all enjoying the Olympics too. :)

You've made great progress on your cross-stitch progress and I love the colors in the sweater. It is going to be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to stitch so bad it wasn't funny! But my goodness you got a ton done!

Thanks Linda! It's called Encore by Plymouth yarns if you're interested.
DeleteLovely knitting, great progress on the stitching too.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on everything. Glad to hear you've been having fun getting to a bunch of different projects.
ReplyDeleteProgress is progress! Nice to see some of the oldies getting an airing; hope it's not another two years before we see them again!
ReplyDeleteMe too! If I can get a few things finished up this year, hopefully only a year or less. :)
DeleteGosh, this is a lot of stuff! Always like watching AANs grow with all their little spirally bits.
ReplyDeleteThe one of the few times I miss having regular TV hah. I can never find what I'm looking for online. I loooove all the figure skating!
The sweater yarn looks lovely! You managed a decent progress on all the projects ! Maple leaf is beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteSome oldies but goodies there! You've really made the most of your Olympic stitching.
ReplyDeleteLove the purple yarn, I thought it was lots of different wools not one variegated.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to do a daily rotation so you can see which projects grab you the most!
I love the sweater, such beautiful colours!
ReplyDeleteNice progress on See Ya Later Alligator, that's one I've thought about doing.
