Needle has met thread and fabric!

Well, I finally picked up my needle and did some actual stitching on Sunday.  I was very productive on Sunday and that extra hour meant I had no excuse for not doing some work on what I hope will be a Christmas present - this year.


Here is where I started.  This was supposed to be a graduation gift but I'm moving a little slow - as usual. 

And here's where I left off on Sunday evening.  Not bad progress.  I'm using DMC and stitching over one on some 30 ct. I had in my stash.  I don' t love the colors but I was in a hurry to get going and just used what was called for rather than dig through my stash to find something I liked better.  Now as I look at it, I wish I hadn't been so lazy.  However, I'm not frogging over one so it's either going to be finished as is or I'll scrap it and start over. 



I also took a picture of my PS All Hallow's Eve which obviously didn't get completed in time for Halloween this year as I had planned.  But there's always next year!

I should stitch on it some more this evening but my fingers are itching to start a new knitting project.  If I manage to decide which one to start, I might have something to show later this week.

You're so far into it, I wouldn't just throw it out. You might like it when you get it finished!

Your WIPS look fine to me. I once frogged over one stitching, it was horrid! You are smart for saying no to that idea.

Your start looks good! And PS is an all time favorite designer; this one is on my list...looks nice and spooky. Great progress.

We hope to land at Camp Wool between 10 & 11 on Friday. Send me an email if you can join us. :) I know we are planning on checking out a couple of other shops along the way.

That's a good start on your new project. And it is looking really nice. I think I wouldn't frog it either with all these over one stitches.
Great progress on your PS piece.
