Another year gone, another year of projects! I finished about 8 projects this past year, and a few were really big ones. Let’s take a look:
First, I finished my cross stitch project I had started in October of 2020. I made it for my Dad for what was supposed to be Hannukkah, but it ended up being a late birthday present. It is about 33 inches tall!
I then did a few different baby blankets, and a cross stitch piece I did in 2 hours one night. My mom hadn’t gotten a cross stitch piece for the holidays, so for Mother’s Day I made her the Nightmare Before Christmas piece.
I also made a macaron cross stitch piece for my boyfriends step mom for Mother’s Day. Her favorite dessert is macarons, so I thought it would be a nice thing to give her.
The two purple pieces are of the same yarn. I had to use two and a little bit of this Cheshire Cat skeins to make the baby blanket, so I used the rest of it to make a shawl.
At the start of May, I started making a Star Wars scarf for my boyfriend for the holidays. I thankfully finished it right before Hannukkah. It was supposed to be a scarf, but it ended up being over 12 feet long! We are now using it as a bed runner in our apartment.
And finally, I got some cross stitch patterned pillow cases from an estate sale. They were unfinished, and not made by someone who has cross stitched or embroidered before, so I am remaking them with her color choices. My boyfriend and I sleep rather roughly, so I want them to be made in a way that we won’t undo the stitching.
That is all that I was able to finish during the year, but I am already partially done with two new blankets. One is crochet, which I have just learned how to do after years of trying to do, and the other is knitted squares that I am sewing together. The last project that I am working on is the other pillow case, but I can’t make any progress cause it’s at our apartment and I am currently quarantining with my parents
