This still seems to be going pretty fast considering all the counting and recounting..then ripping out because I thought I had made a mistake only to figure out that I had been looking at the wrong area lol. Still loving this tho and having a hard time putting it down. I am joining a weekend SAL to hopefully get even more done so may have a new progress pic on monday.
Well I had planned on only stitching on Cirque Des Cercles for one week only for going back to the Patchwork Sampler..but I have not yet been able to put it down lol so I guess I keep going till i'm bored with it. I am not sure if that will happen tho as I love the coloring and how every design is unique such fun to do :)
The first picture is just to give everyone an idea of the colors I am using on Cirque Des Cercles. I plan on doing all 3 patterns in the series using these colors. All will be on fiddlers cloth..and each pattern will be using different shades...light, medium and dark.This second photo is the little bit of a start on Cirque Des Cercles so far. Loving the purple..have decided to make a rotation between this and the Patchwork Sampler..working on it alternating weeks instead of just the weekend.Haven't posted about Patchwork Sampler in a while so this is the latest picture..will start up on it again next monday..till then tho I am back off to Cirque Des Cercles for the rest of the evening.
Decided today to start a new weekend project so dug out my Cirque Des Cercles pattern by InkCircles. No picture progress yet as I only just finished getting my threads figured out and the fabric ready..so for right now I am working on 3 projects...a crocheted lap blanket, Patchwork Sampler and Cirque Des Circles. Hoping to have some progress pictures of all 3 sometime this week =)
I know it's been over a month since I have posted here the main reason being I have been taking a break from stitching to learn how to crochet. I tried doing this years ago but couldn't get the hang of it..part of the reason might be that I am left handed and may not have been ready to learn how to do it then. This time tho within 10 minutes I was making a chain and within another 10 or so I was learning how to make rows..this picture is the beginning of a blanket I am making for my kitten..figured it would be nice for her since she has short hair and also be an easy first project. Got enthusiastic a few weeks ago also and started on a lap blanket for my grandmother who is 101 and in a nursing home. Hope to have some progress pics of that or my stitching soon.
The pink block is all done cept for the backstitching. So far this really is my favorite block.Misty was laying by the stitching till she saw the camera and just had to start coming towards it because it has a cord hanging lol.
Somehow the pics got out of order lol but I guess that is ok...This is my new kitten Misty that has been keeping me away from posting and stitching as much as I would like to with all of her energy. Will have to try and post more often now that she is more used to the place and me. Today I finished off the 3rd block and started on the diamond shapes on the bottom row. May need to click on the pic to see them really well as the yellow isn't appearing as bright as I would like it to lol.
