I have had a look at my progress on the projects I listed for the challenge run last year by Meredithe (Pomegranate and Chintz<\/a>) and Anne (Frayed At The Edge<\/a>) – 17 UFOs in 2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Webgimpe<\/a>

Webgimpe Added<\/p><\/div>\n

In most cases, I didn’t even look at the projects, in spite of my very best efforts. In my defense, when I made the list, the projects for the Head of Nefertiti<\/a>, Akhenaten<\/a>, and my two little Amarna Princesses<\/a> hadn’t even occurred to me, and they completely distracted me! Their project for this year – “6 and 6 in 2018” takes this possibility into account, allowing for reports on six old, or at least long-running, projects, and six brand new ones which pop up out of nowhere. I can’t be the only one who gets completely taken over by new ideas!<\/p>\n

So, here’s the round up…<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/a>

Blue Section<\/p><\/div>\n

1<\/strong> Eve in the Garden of Eden<\/a> – all I need to do here (all!!!) is to make the box. At the moment the fabric is pinned out to straighten it a bit. I think I can call this “substantial progress”!<\/p>\n

2<\/strong> Nefertiti Shawl<\/a> – I’ve recently written about the headache that this has given me. I need to get all my silks out again, and think hard about the next stage. I think I may have the faintest hint of an idea for it, but as I say, that needs much more thought.<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/a>

Blue Flower<\/p><\/div>\n

3<\/strong> Queen Anne style teacloth<\/a> – I got something done on this when we had a bit of a heatwave, and I’ve worked out the stitches for the Blue Flower. I just haven’t done all of them yet. “Progress”, but not “substantial progress”, I think!<\/p>\n

4<\/strong> The Modern Stitch-Off<\/a> –\u00a0 I think I will decide that this is finished, but I reserve the right to change my mind!<\/p>\n

\"Progress<\/a>

Progress on the Christmas Angel<\/p><\/div>\n

5<\/strong> The Christmas Angel<\/a> – I made a good start on the background, but there is a good deal more to do – again, “Progress”, but not “substantial progress”.<\/p>\n

6<\/strong> The Faience Necklace<\/a> – I’ve thought about it, but done nothing…<\/p>\n

7<\/strong> The Swan<\/a> – not a stitch!<\/p>\n

8<\/strong> The Unicorn<\/a> – not a stitch!<\/p>\n

I think it is fair to say that since I was ambushed by some wildly exciting ideas, it’s scarcely surprising that my attempts to finish other projects fell somewhat by the wayside. It was a nice idea, and I’m glad that Meredithe and Anne came up with it, but we none of us allowed for my wayward spirit of invention!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
