I'm late to the game this year, and hopefully can do better as the year progresses. As you likely know, this is the brainchild of the extremely well-organized Jo of Serendipitous Stitching. Check out her post and see everyone's beautiful work and how they've managed to shoe horn in different ways to "gift" stitching.
I'll keep this a little brief to try and get my post up before the linky widget closes and hope to get a few more posts scheduled today to go over my 2019 plans. I've been working on them, just not talking too much about them yet.
A Kiss For A Snowman (DD)
I hope to get this one finished this year, the top left is pretty much complete and soon the entire left side stitching will be done.
Joy
This is the ornament selected for the JCS Ornament of the month group that Jo also organizes on Facebook. This was a fun little stitch, and just took a few nights to stitch and finish. I think it will be a gift, so I'm showing it off here. :)
Animal Parade
My New Year's start was this one, which will also be for DD. Can anyone guess what animal this is? :) Hint - they're all found in Africa.
And for knitting,
Little Boxy
I'm getting the hang of knitting in the round now, round and round it goes for 8 inches, so it will be a while. The pattern is by Joji Locatelli and the yarn is Hedgehog Fibres out of Ireland. DD's favourite colour is still purple.
Socks for DD
These are plain old tubes without a heel as I've read that by the time kids wear out the heel section, their feet have grown. Without having to fiddle with a heel made this on fairly quick and I'm a good way along on the second sock as well.
I hope everyone has had a good year so far!
Happy Stitching,
Tiffstitch
What you've done so far looks great!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteCongrats on the cute finish Tiffany. Nice progress on your other projects.

Thank you Linda!
DeleteGreat work all round. Given the horn on the right, I'm guessing the animal's a rhino? Looking forward to seeing more of that project. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely a rhino. I think it will be a good animal by animal project to work on. Thank you!
DeleteGreat progress on everything and congrats on your finish of Joy! I am guessing a rhino too.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm so happy I took time to FFO it now. Yes, a rhino!
DeleteBeautiful knitting, your Joy ornament is so sweet and a very nice finish.
ReplyDeleteA Kiss For A Snowman I have to look this design up.
Catherine
Thank you. A Kiss for a Snoman is a Dimensions kit, which you could maybe tell by the creased aida. :)
DeleteA Kiss is going to be adorable, keep on stitching!
ReplyDeleteYour Joy is sweet, I like the way you finished it.
I'm going with rhino too!
Beautiful colours for your knitting, love the sock.
Great to see a post from you. Love the Kiss from a snowman piece. Looking great. I'll guess it's a rhino. Too cute! Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteGreat GG post. Your daughters sock is lovely.
ReplyDeleteSweet JOY ornament, I do like that one, will have to dig out my JCS mag.
Nice info on the socks, if it weren't for the toe seams, it sounds like it would be awesome to make ALL socks tubes haha. :D Would be easier for sure~
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Love the snowman! Nice ornament. Ha, it’s gotta be a rhino! Lovely knitting, I’m with the purple one! Oh, and awesome socks too! I’m so jealous, my knitting seems to stay on the needles forever! You are inspiring me, oh, and I guess this cold weather might be too ...... I must pull my knitting out and finish something!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Thanks for taking part in GG this month and squeaking in at the last minute too!
ReplyDeleteLovely work on the stitching and I love the purple yarn for your knitting too. Who doesn't love purple?
Great progress and great thinking on the tube socks for kids - I'd never have thought of that!
