Passion and Progress

I am in love with these. Talk about two epic projects to stitch! Darn the "internets" ;) I ordered Arwen and Aragorn and I'm still debating on Hope Returns. I have all the floss kitted up for A/A but I had to order the fabric(25 count laguna is hard to come by--at least the size I need is). This is a solid cross stitch project done over 1 on linen--which probably means nothing if you don't stitch, but if you do you'll understand my fear of going blind before I finish it; those stitches will be tiny :)

I finished with the chart for the first sleeve of Rogue and it will be put away for a week; so that I can concentrate on my preemie project donations. Here's the progress pic:

All I can say is "Holy crap, THAT is cross-stitched???" You are a brave, or possibly insane, woman. :)

Rogue is looking good!

Yep, completely insane. I KNOW how long those things take! ;) Good luck.

The cross-stitch I will leave to you. That looks incredibly complicated, I hope you don't go blind!
Beautiful sleeve cable.

Arwen & Aragorn is fabulous. I just love that one. My heart is currently set on Winding the Skeins, though I still haven't even purchased it. So far, anyway, drooling from afar has been sufficient. The question is: for how long?

Okay. Love, love, love that Rogue sleeve. So, where do I get the pattern? Inquiring minds want to know. :-)

Ooh, I see you're looking for some 25-count lugana. Will Ivory work for you? I have some that may be big enough to work... I have a fat quarter and a fat half. Let me know. We may be able to work something out. :-) We'll see who's enabling who. ;-)

The more I look at this Rogue pattern, the more I like it. So, in spite of the fact that I gave you a hard time about it ;) thank you for sending along the pattern link! :-)

Ooh, have you seen the new HAEDs released today? My favorite is Merry Christmas to All. I think I'll have to stitch that one!

Stashalong--Sign ups end Jan.1

Image
Sign ups have ended. EDIT: Sign ups end January 1 at 5pm Mountain time. Anyone interested in using some of your stash in order to make room for some new spring stuff? Join me in a very informal knitalong. Here are the rules: (1) Must start and try to finish something from your stash yarn(I say "try" to finish because if you pick something huge like an afghan or sweater finishing in three months may not be realistic). (2) You have 3 months and during that time you cannot add to your stash in any way(things ordered before January 1 but not yet delivered do not count--hence the early warning--get it out of your systems, ladies). Of course realistically there is no way to police this, so the honor system is in place. (3) I am beginning on January 1, 2006 and ending March 31, 2006(if there is interest, I'd be glad to start another one after that). (4) Keep me posted on your progress and I will post it once a week--probably Mondays or Tuesdays. I've never attempted to s...
