Another new start for 2024

 

A new start.  Hobby House Press - Dasher and Dancer.  This was a pattern I saw and liked a year or more ago.  It just was never at a site that I buy from.  I saw it this time at the Colour & Cotton website.  She sent the pattern, and included two skeins of  Colour & Cotton - Valor Red.... oh, lovely red for this pattern.  So I ordered more of the Valor Red floss.  This is how far one skein of floss got me.  Of course I used Colour & Cotton fabric.  It is 28 count lugana, one over one, the Jan 2022 fabric club Chamomile.  The stitch count is 355w x 168h.  It is actually under 12 by 6 inches finished.  I will change the swans to something else, but no clue what yet.  But it is time to change to something else after finishing the skein.  

I had finished another page on Ink Circles - Squirrels of Sumatra.  That bottom border was just not my favorite.  But I could do that page, finish that border, and get a break, that seemed okay.  Two pages for December seem possible. 

Two more pages completed

Modern Folk Embroidery - A Winter Kaleidoscope.  This is 6 pages completed of 20 pages total.  It is now a 1/4 done.  Still hanging in there with my two pages each month, and this is Sept, Oct, and Nov.  This is 28 count, one over one.  The total stitch count is 383 x 383, meaning 13.67 inches finished area.  Making this something under 7 x 7 inches finished so far.   It is lovely.  
 

Three more pages done...

 Ink Circles - Squirrels of Sumatra.  Finished the next 3 pages for November.  That is my goal, 3 pages a month, on this one.  This is 6 of 9 pages completed.   I am back on my two pages for the red design...
