I counted on my WIP shelf. I am down to six projects carefully stored in their project bags with origin dates from 2019-2022. Looking at them, I don’t think I really have anything left over from last year. Strange that – or perhaps they were easier and smaller projects that I knocked off first. The issue of course with those that are left is that they all are bigger projects. Two are single issue items (the Tea Sampler from Governeur and Silowitches from Teresa Kogut).
Six projects are easy – I didn’t even need to go and borrow a fancy die – a normal six sided one was more than sufficient. And Silowitches it is. I will have to look up start date (2023 sometime) and fabric. I think it is 18ct by the looks of it, the thread I am using is Vampy from Leo&Roxy Floss (Now Roxy Floss Co).
My helper is still taking over the chair at every opportunity
(and once I finished with this whole discussion I realized that I have three other projects left over from last year, it is just that they are hanging up rather than having a home on the shelf – Treasure Island from OwlForest and two Nora Corbett Zodiac Girls needing backstitch/beads – Gemini & Taurus. Total number is still in single digits. That is compared to the 21 finished from previous years so far. Plus the three projects both started and finished in 2024).
When you have finished those I should hand over some sewing up to do from here! (Which is why I like knitting shawls.)
