\"Still

Still More Circles<\/p><\/div>\n

Meredithe (Pomegranate and Chintz<\/a>) and Anne (Frayed At The Edge<\/a>) are running a challenge for the year – 17 UFOs in 2017<\/a>. The idea is not necessarily to finish, but to make substantial progress, on 17 UFOs.<\/p>\n

\nNow, I’m not sure I have that many UFOs, and I have many new projects I want to work on (more on those soon), but I do have a good few that are stalled, or that I’m not sure whether I’ve finished or not, so although I’m not going to join in regularly, I will try to use the impetus of the challenge to remind myself to assess progress.<\/p>\n

\"Blanket

Blanket Stitch Fans<\/p><\/div>\n

1<\/strong> Eve in the Garden of Eden<\/a> – I really want to finish this so I can sign up for the Stumpwork Lion!
\n2<\/strong> Nefertiti Shawl<\/a> – well, clearly, I want to be able to wear this!
\n3<\/strong> Queen Anne style teacloth<\/a> – this is a travelling project, so it depends on where I go and whether I have light or time to work on it.<\/p>\n

\"From

From The Back<\/p><\/div>\n

4<\/strong> The Modern Stitch-Off<\/a> – I’m not sure whether this is finished or not, so if I can at least decide that by the end of the year, I’ll be pleased.
\n5<\/strong> The Christmas Angel<\/a> – I was going to work on the Christmas Angel last year between Christmas and Epiphany, and never set a stitch on it.<\/p>\n

\"Shoulder

Shoulder Cape<\/p><\/div>\n

6<\/strong> The Faience Necklace<\/a> – this has been a real trial to me, as I can’t bring the design into focus. I’ve got some lovely silk thread so maybe that will help me to get started.
\n7<\/strong> The Swan<\/a> – I got the first layer of Laid and Couched work done, and have had trouble working out the detail layer…<\/p>\n

\"Swan

Swan – First Layer<\/p><\/div>\n

8<\/strong> The Unicorn<\/a> – again, first layer done, details escaping me.<\/p>\n

\"Unicorn

Unicorn – the first layer<\/p><\/div>\n

I have a lot of other things I want to do, which are barely begun, never mind finished, and as I have said, in the case of several of these projects it is not a matter of simply stitching, so much as deciding what to stitch, and then stitching it.<\/p>\n

My real target for the year with these eight is to have finished the Nefertiti Shawl and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Anything else is a bonus!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
