So close. . .

I only worked on this last weekend; it was a perfect project to work on while sitting on the balcony in Breckenridge. Before: After: **clickable thumbnails**

**clickable thumbnail** I have been plugging along on my HAED "K". I should make a big dent in this page over the weekend.

HAED Stitching

Image
Before: After(a couple of days of stitching since the last pic): **clickable thumbnails** I have been trying to meet my goal of putting in 1000 stitches per week on one of my HAED pieces and already I am a little bit behind but nothing I can't catch up on.

July Challenges

I have two main goals for this month: 1. To exercise 4-6 times per week. 2. Put 1000 stitches per week into my TT "K". I've been having exercise issues lately so I'm trying to get that routine locked down again--I didn't bust my butt(literally) to lose all the gains I've made. As for the stitching, I think if I don't actually block out time for it then it will not get done.

The HAED BB wasn't doing a yearly SAL Challenge like they usually do, at least not that I saw, so when I saw this SAL it was perfect(and if your interested you should go check out the above link--I think the SAL is full but looking at everyone's WIPs is really inspiring). They do a SAL every Thursday and I'm jumping in this week by focusing on my TT "K" . Before: **clickable thumbnail** After:

I started something new this weekend although technically I have had this start planned since January I just haven't started it yet. It's one of the pieces on my yearly goals list and since it is now almost(cough, cough)June I figured I'd better get moving. It's a piece taken from a larger piece of artwork by Selina Fenech called Fantasy Alphabet . HAED charted all the letters you can buy them as a whole or by the letter . I, of course, am starting with the letter K . You know for Kim, knit, Knitter in Progress, and in the case of this piece of artwork, Kirin . Here's the progress made over the weekend: **clickable thumbnail** Fabric : 32 count white linen(I can't remember what kind--it's been lingering in the stash) Stitched : 2 over 2 It's a Tiny Treasure chart and as far as HAED char...
