Finish #1 for 2025

 

Finish #1 for 2025.  Ink Circles - Squirrels of Sumatra.  On Fiber on a Whim, 28 count lugana, one over one, and the color is Brown Sugar.  Used almost exactly 4 skeins of dmc 3371.  Start with more than four would be my advice.  It's about the size of a piece of paper when finished.  The photo has a flash on, so it's prettier than this photo. 

Long ago I did the little corner area with the suggested flosses in color.  It has a photo date of April 2019, but I don't know how accurate that is.  It is included with the pattern, and is called Squirrel's Garden to be specific.  

I grabbed back up the red one again to do the two pages for January.  I have almost a half a page done so far.  I thought that I would get this one finished before year end, but it was slow going, so I was 9 days into the new year before it got finished.  But any finish is fine, and it did not get tossed back, it did get completed.

A Little Finish

The small from Squirrels of Sumatra from Ink Circles - Finished.
This is on 40 count PTP Legacy - one over two.  Dmc floss.
3.25 H x 3.5 W in inches.
Finish #7 for 2019.  Can't seem to find a groove to stitch and make progress on bigger projects. Or I will think of something I know is started, but then I can't find it.  Considering a restart, but that means lots of unstitching first to save the fabric.  It's fancy floss at the moment, but it's ending up as stripes going the wrong direction on a birds feathers.  It's possible to do, but wow, I don't want to think that hard on a big project for months.  Too easy to mess up a foot or a beak or something.  The floss is fine, just not for the pattern I paired it with. 

A Restart and a Small

Needleprint - Ackworth School Deborah Cockin 1806.
PTP Gingerbread 28 count, one over one with dmc 814.
This was started with white dmc - which just was not solid enough, so picked that out, and restarted with dmc 814.  There are pattern mistakes to fix if quaker motifs are at least sort of balanced.  But I did get from bottom to top. 

This is the small from the new Ink Circles - Sumatra Squirrels pattern.  I am trying to fill in that scrap of 40 count that I bought, but will NEVER buy more.  So this is about 3.5 inches.  Using dmc flosses.  One over two.
