The new start is the Love is Patient mini cross stitch kit by Dimensions. It is mostly half cross and backstitch and will probably stitch up quite fast. This is meant as a gift for someone, but not a Christmas thing, so I have plenty of time.
The other project I am spending lots of time on is the scarf. The first one was shrinking, so I scrapped it after I figured out what I had done wrong. The restart is coming along much better, although I still find that I drop a stitch here and there and have to rip out several rows of work.

I find that alternating between types of projects reduces hand fatigue, so if that is a problem for you, consider taking on a second hand crafting hobby.
I love your new Dimensions stitch, how pretty! That's interesting about different crafts. I've recently developed arthritis in my little finger from holding my needle in a strange way. I must make the effort to do more crochet next year for a change!
ReplyDeleteI am always moving from craft to craft depending on the health of my hands. I tend to suffer from trigger finger that is aggravated with knitting and crocheting. I move on to quilting and cross-stitching. Your scarf is looking good. I like the cross-stitch. I used that passage at my wedding over 30 years ago.
ReplyDeleteGreat new start Kaelyn. Love the scarf. Green is my favorite color.

The new scarf is looking good. I've been considering keeping myself in 2 or 3 projects at a time so I can rotate when I get frustrated (stupid ribbing).
ReplyDeleteYour painted snowman looks great Kaelyn. Congrats on finishing the scarf. Green in my favorite color. Awesome gifts.
