I am using Teresa's tutorial for a circle in a square granny but adding extra rows. I will always end with the same color as it matches my couch which you can see in the photo. The edging will also be in this color.
I decided to join in with Ginny at SmallThings for her YarnALong this year. I love to read along with all my hobbies and she asks that we post a photo of our current yarn project along with our latest read. My book which I am finishing is The Brontes' Christmas. I will continue my holiday themed reading until January 6th (Three Kings Day). This book is a compilation of Christmas excerpts written by the three Bronte Sisters or pieces written by other authors of their day.
I am also going to start linking to Tami's WIP Wednesday as I am hoping this will help me to get moving on getting some projects done. I am going to start reporting a UFO for this each month with a goal for 2013 to accomplish 13 finishes which is one more than 2012.
Do you have some exciting new projects to start this month?
Heidi
This will be a great blanket. Great start for the new year. I will start one project this month, a Scarlet Letter Sampler, but I haven't received it yet, so it might be next month only.
ReplyDeleteHave a great New Year!
Nice blanket start! Nothing new for me as yet! X
ReplyDeletePretty new start!
ReplyDeleteGreat start Heidi. I need to finish a couple of things off before I can start anything new!
ReplyDeleteOh Heidi! You remembered me the Bronte sisters!!! I love Wuthering Heights!!! My favorite book when I was in school!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Heidi!! That tecnic, Lucet, it´s similar than I investigated!! But you need that tool!! :-(
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me!! I follow you, Do you wanna follow me?
Kisses!!
I love this new circle in a square you are making. It looks really nice. I just started a project but don't know if you can call it exciting. It is an afghan made on a loom. I have made it many times before. We have a waitress who we really like and she is going in for very serious surgery. She is in for a long recovery and I hope this will cheer her up a little and keep her warm.
ReplyDeleteI just finished a shawl for Mandie for her birthday also. Have to get it in the mail.
Love you, Mom
What a kick-of start you make Heidi! Nice project, I like the squares!
ReplyDeleteNice start to a new year!
ReplyDeleteYou're obviously going to be busy this year:) I've no projects planned so far apart from finishing the cross stitch 'Autumn' sampler that I'm doing for my DIL. Daughter did mention wanting a beanie and matching scarf so might get her to choose a pattern and some yarn and get started on that soon.
ReplyDeleteYour new project is superb, such a nice mix of colours.
ReplyDeleteAnne Bronte is buried in St Mary's church in Scarborough, hubby and I visited there when on hols. The grave is well tended by the Bronte appreciation group and flowers placed there. There is a pic on my blog post dated 23rd oct 2011.
I love your new start Heidi! That will be beautiful when finished. I haven't started anything new yet, I have a few things I love that I have had to put on hold while making gifts etc. so am anxious to get back to those. I have been wanting to work on Christmas Garden by Blackbird Designs and when I start something new that will probably be it. Hugs from CA. and happy stitching.
ReplyDeleteNice new project, Heidi! But I love your review from last year too. Have a good year 2013 and I wish you health! greetings from Germany. Sabine.
