Five to go

I found another 28 stitches that needed to be completed this morning on Deadly Aquarium, followed by multiple colors of backstitch.

And so here it is – all 18,622 stitches. And that doesn’t include all the backstitch. Some of which you can see here in the details.

And that leaves me with five projects – NoTime, Smaug, Clock, Vampryum, and 324. Unfortunately, the last one of the list apparently hadn’t been touched since June. The others, all this month. Ok – 324 it is, and added 14 motifs to a total of 129 done… and more than a few to go..

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
