March IHSW: ... finally!

Hey Blog Buddies,

I do love my International Hermit and Stitch Weekend (IHSW) stitch-a-longs!  I didn't have too much time to stitch on Sunday, but I made up for it on Saturday.  The "finally" is because I finally stitched the January square from Crabby All Year!  It missed its turn in the rotation last month, and I wasn't super-enthusiastic about it, but I'm glad it's done!

 I made the "W" and the "C" much larger than charted, just because.

This square is actually more appropriate around here

this month than this past January when we had only a trace of snow,

as opposed to the 9 inches we had almost two weeks ago!

You can see from this photo that I also started on the header

since I've now made my way to the top row of the piece.

I finished the (January part of the) header after the sun went down,

so I had to take this with a flash,

hence the totally different color of the fabric and threads!

Actually, I think this is more representative of the real colors.

I also did a little sewing

(trying to piece together a table topper to match my

Circle Dance wall hanging),

and a little knitting

(on the same cowl that you've already seen),

but I'll show these when finished so as not to bore you to tears.

To see what my fellow hermitters have been up to,

go here.

Hope everyone had a fun, stitchy weekend!

Thanks for visiting!
