Various projects this month:
Steady progress on my cotton top - I'm not doing it as fast, but proof I have made progress

I've been doing a KnitALong this month to create Gnatty the Gnitted Gnome

Meanwhile cross stitch projects
I made four bookmarks as thank yous to people who were on my team at holiday club:

I completed my Anniversary Card

And finished the flower rainbow which came out really well

Over the next year I shall be doing a StitchALong with a panel for each month, and here's the sun in the middle

And I've almost finished Klimt The Kiss

Date: 2024-09-04 10:35 am (UTC)The StitchAlong sounds interesting - is it one where you know in advance what you're doing, or a mystery community project? The sun in the centre is a beautiful start :)

I know that each monthly panel (slice) will be flowers/plants of the month and how it will fit together, but I haven't seen the actual completed picture. At the start they say what size fabric is needed (essential!) and give the complete list of thread colours so you can order all together. Having now started 'September', it's quite tricky but I think it will be worth it, and as soon as I've finished the Klimt this will become my major stitching project.

The cross stitch bookmarks would be such delightful items to receive! I'm sure the recipients really appreciated them.
I absolutely LOVE the flower rainbow! It turned out wonderfully! The sun from your StitchALong project is also great! I'm looking forward to seeing more of this project.
The Klimt cross stitch looks AMAZING! Ooooh! So close to being finished! :-D
