WIPocalypse 2025 Check-in - January 5, 2025

 My current WIPS are:

​
1. Elizabeth Almond's "Save the Stitches", begun in 2014, on white lugana in mostly DMC 310 (with some scattering of two DMC blues and two DMC greens where metallic threads had been called for.). 

2. Stitchonomy "Christmas Market" 2024 SAL. Stitched using kit fabric and DMC floss. Part 1 of 8 is shown. Part 2  requires backstitching. Part 3 has been issued but not started. Part 4 is due out on the 8th of January., but not to the general stitching public so I can't show it.

3. Fox & Rabbit 2025 SAL "Cloister Garden". Part 1 has been released and I have the fabric and threads I plan on using. I have yet other start...

On the non-SAL (and inactive SAL) front:

• The Glendon Place "Hope & Strength" piece which still requires extensive beading.
• The Lakeside SAL "Kogin" which still languishes untouched.
• Traveling needlepoint is awaiting a road trip (possibly in February) to justify taking it out again.

~~~~~
Due to installation of solar panels at our home which required access to our attic (between New Yer's Eve and this weekend) , my closet (where attic access is located) was emptied into my bedroom, obstructing all my stitching gear. Stitching has been on hold and will only resume when all the closet contents are sorted and replaced.

My goal this year is to finish the three WIPs listed above and hopefully work on at least one of the currently inactive pieces. Therefore, I will attempt to restrict addition of new pieces into my rotation. No telling how successful I will be at that but I will try!
