A record of my journey through yarn projects
Happy New Year to you! Hope 2022 brings you health and joy, and of course, lots of crafting and arting! 🙂 Just when the year started, I made a wall hanging out of my Linen and Threads MSAL project. I loved the process, and love how it turned out! I started the process by removing … Continue reading Linen and Threads MSAL 2021 – Wall Hanging
The final section of my Linen and Threads MSAL 2021 is now done! When I shortlisted sets of colors for this section, I decided to overlay them on an image of the entire project, so I know they fit the overall theme. None of them did, however (I'm not surprised) so I ended up tweaking … Continue reading Linen and Threads MSAL 2021 /11
I'm happy to have finally finished the November section, since I just hadn't been able to devote much time to it during November. It was actually December when I made the last stitch in this section, way after I downloaded the December chart and was wondering whether I liked the colors I came up for … Continue reading Linen and Threads MSAL 2021 /10
Here's a quick update on my stitchy projects - Halloween MSAL I had a lot of fun stitching this project (design by Stitchonomy.) To summarize--I made a miniature version of it on 11-count Aida cloth by stitching 4 stitches per square. I finished the project by making a Halloween-themed mixed media frame, which was totally … Continue reading SAL Progress (And a Finish)
My stitchy projects are progressing well. The yarny ones, not so much, but I hope to get more time for them in the later half of the month. Linen and Threads MSAL - September section I managed to finish this section of the MSAL just when the month was about to end. I love how … Continue reading Linen & Threads and Halloween MSALs
The August section of the Linen and Threads Mystery Sampler SAL had a solid rounded motif that I didn't know how to proceed with--I didn't want a big, rounded blob of a motif in there. Eventually, I decided to fill it up with back stitches--yes, the very type of stitches that I have a love-hate … Continue reading Linen and Threads MSAL 2021 /9
The July section of the Linen and Threads Mystery Sampler SAL is the smallest as the number of stitches go, but it was just as fun as all of the other sections. This month, it was all about the horizontal spaces between the main square-shaped sections. The stitching went smoothly, since I didn't change my … Continue reading Linen and Threads MSAL 2021 /8
The June section of the Linen and Threads Mystery Sampler SAL was a bag of mixed results. It went on okay almost till the end, then it gave me some problems. When I charted out the colors, I liked what I saw. I've been happy with the number of combinations I can make with the … Continue reading Linen and Threads MSAL 2021 /7
I'm done with the May section of my Linen and Threads MSAL, and it was a pleasant experience when it comes to experiments. I didn't want to fill up the 'feathery' parts with a single block of color, so I tried out some gradients in this section - I moved from one color to another … Continue reading Linen and Threads MSAL 2021 /6
Well, I seem to have gravitated towards blue for the April section of my Linen and Threads MSAL... I'd thought of adding more colors to the light blue sections, but in the end, I went with a single color. The newly-revealed May section also has similar huge components, and this time around, I think I'll … Continue reading Linen and Threads MSAL 2021 /5
