 Having taken December out to stitch on festive stitching, I'm back with Jamie and Claire. I've just finished page 5!

January 2024

 Happy New Year! 

I've been learning how to crochet over the past couple of months and I now spend my Saturday crafting sessions with a crochet hook, a laminated US/UK conversion guide and various free charts from t'interweb practicing with a load of old wool.

I was lucky enough to have some crochet supplies for Christmas.

And I've dug out a book my dear friend bought me when I had my first bash at crochet several years ago. Back then however, I didn't really understand there were two versions (UK and US) of the stitches.

Like my stitching, I'll be uploading my journey with the hooks.

Year's End 2023.

 I haven't been as regular posting updates on here during 2023 but that doesn't mean I haven't been stitching. 

From previous entries, you'll know that I've picked up Outlander to complete for a dear friend, and I've stitched almost exclusively since then on that project. Until December when I switched to something to bring out the festive cheer in me.

This was the update for Outlander:

I then completed this for my office but since it wasn't framed in time, it'll be for Christmas 2024:

Now this particular project below will remain a WIP because while I love the picture, I'm not a fan of the font.

However, I did juj it up a bit by adding some Kreinik sparkle to all the white snowflakes.

Once I find the right font, I'll finish this.

For now, Outlander is back in my hoop.

Happy New Year x
