So it’s summertime for a few more weeks at least.  It’s been about 2 months since my last post, but my stitchy bug was dormant all the while.  WIPocalypse is a super flexible SAL, thankfully.  Anyway, June started with Victorian Carolers.  I gave it 3.5 days overall and 2,104 stitches.…

February is the shortest month, and my stitchy bug ran amuck for days here and there, but I still worked on a bunch of things.   February started with Stargazer, because I just can’t put her down, I love working on her so much!  I gave her 2,135 stitches over…

My first WIP of January was Gryphon, rather appropriate since it’s a spring finish goal.  Previous: I gave it 3.5 days and 2,102 stitches, mostly working the the body up towards the head, I also stitched some on the wings.   It’s definitely getting there.  I’ll probably give it some…
