Jade Möbius Cowl

Finished the Jade Möbius Cowl, a free pattern from Ravelry. The Jade Yarn was purchased at the Knitting Niche in Ocean City, NJ. Hard to beat a summer's day at the beach with ice cream, taffy, waves, and yarn shopping. Pattern was okay, but happy it's finally done. Yarn looks good with denim - Knitting Fever Jade #7. 

Meadow Brook Shawlette

Another Owl Cat Designs piece made for a Christmas present. This was another fun one to knit. Pattern is available at Converstional Threads in Emmaus or at Owl Cat Designs on Ravelry.

Kirsibaum cowl finished

Also finished a knit cowl called Kirsibaum by Owl Cat Designs this week. This was a fast and beautiful pattern I found at Conversational Threads in Emmaus, PA. Love that store!

Susan Singleton Finished

Started in 2008, finished in 2014. Better late than never.

Knit vest done

Started this vest the week of Christmas. It was a little hard finding nice knit vests at the store this year so I made one instead. Bottom is curling though it's been blocked.

A little further

Finished the sky and a majority of the white areas. Into the final fun finishes of satin stitching.

Finished a project

Finished a sampler! But it was a mini sampler. This was an improvised pattern stitched on 60 count silk gauze.

Elizabeth Sheffield - A Scarlet Letter Sampler

Elizabeth Sheffield

Elizabeth Sheffield is a Scarlett Letter sampler that may never be finished for one reason - cross stitch over one thread. I don't know why I find it so painful. The silk palette is amazing, which will make this one worth it.

Elizabeth Pain - A Scarlet Letter sampler

Elizabeth Pain

Elizabeth Pain is another Scarlet Letter sampler that is in progress. It's about half way done, with lots of back stitch to be completed. This is a fun one, and looks great stitched.

Susan Singleton

Susan Singleton, a reproduction sampler by The Scarlet Letter, is a project that has been nearly finished for over a year now.  I keep putting it away because of boredom with stitching only in cross stitch, and stitching sections in white, which feels pointless at times.

What's the Point?

Starting new projects is fun and easy, but something always comes up which makes finishing them a little trickier, be it a complicated, tedious step, or just general ADD.  The purpose of this blog is to post progress and basically shame myself into finishing things. My projects tend to focus on knitting, crochet, reproducing antique samplers, and dollhouse miniatures.  Other things may pop up, like baking or making homemade ice cream.
