2017, should we try to revive the group?
 
I forget to come and see what is happening, and I guess a lot of us are in the same boat.

So, what are we all up to with our stitching?

My stitching goal is to finish as many of my dozen or so WIPs and WISPs as I can in 2017. I am going to get them out, pat them gently and then put them in a rotation where each one gets a week of attention in turn.

I am also going to finish a sunflower tablerunner that is a RR project with a friend; just 3 of us, and taking our time. I am half finished my share of this project. Then I am going to stitch on another RR that is awaiting my attention - this one the owner doesn't need back until after she moves, sometime this coming summer.

There will also be too new starts, just so I don't get to feeling hard-done-by for having to work on WIPs, etc. One new start is Liz Almond's Sublime Stitches. Her Save the Stitches is one of the WIPs! I also intend to start on Cherry Parker's Christmas Ball.

Keep on stitchin'

I would love to see the group revive, some usenet groups are having a
revival! I can't say I stitch that much anymore but I still knit a
lot and that is stitching too :) Quite apart from that I love
hearing what everyone is doing and seeing it too.

I haven't been stitching too much in the last month or so. I am almost done
with a cute design with a Snowman and children that are building them and it
is a fast stitch. I love it but just haven't felt like I want it to get
done. I need to find a new project that I will start when I finish this one
and then I will get back to it. I would love to see things get active
again. Just never seems to happen.

I haven't done much stitching in the last couple of years but I
do regularly check in. Every time I get out the tote bag with
WIPs it just sits by the chair while I read, work jigsaw puzzles,
or my latest play the piano. I've got enough potential projects
to last me till I'm 100 if I would live that long.

I'm in the same boat.

I'm about to pick up my stitching after about 10 years of laxity. I had eye surgery, then other medical issues, and stuff gradually rolled by. I have two new pieces on order; kits are easier than sorting through stash and making decisions.

I wish I had known before I pulled the trigger on my order from The Stitchery that they are moving warehouses and stuff might take longer. After a week, it still shows as "being processed".

Not much stitching for me since late October, when my data entry job speeds up for the holiday season but I have the second snow day of my life today so I'm hoping to spend the rest of it working on my Hawaiian Baby Sampler project (baby will be three in May) and watching the snow blobs fall off of the 60' fir trees! :-)

We've gotten more snow here in southern Oregon than we've had in decades. I parked my Volvo at the bottom of the driveway last night (½ mile away) and hiked home through the snow. :-) It was beautiful but not something I'd want to do all the time. Even though the main state highway through our area is plowed and open, the roads getting to and from that road are still in sad shape and, because of last night's snow on top of old snow, there are apparently branches down and power out throughout the area. Definitely not worth digging the car out of the snow to get onto a snowy, icy country road. And, if it gets as cold tonight as expected, the ride home would be icy. Sooooo, it's stitching for me today, once I balance the checkbook.

Happy Stitching! :-D

Maybe you need to hurry a bit in case the baby learns to eat with no
bib :)

Hi everyone,

I would love to help revive the group.
I've been reading (and lurking) but not commenting, for more than a decade!!!

So I will just introduce myself:
My name is Dawn, I live in Indiana, and I love to get snowed in!
I started "The Castle" by TW on January 1st, 2001 and would love to finish it this year.
My 2nd WIP is "Feathered Stars". It is a kit and I've been working on it over a year.
I have several small cross stitch projects, a crocheted blanket for one of my sons, plus other crochet projects.
January starts my busy season but it only lasts until April 15th!!!

This group has been such an inspiration, especially in the beginning. You have taught me what a RR=Round Robin is, railroading, and the courage to start a TW pattern!
I thank you all for sharing yourselves in the past years and I encourage all of you to continue to inspire new people that are just reading this group.

I vow to participate more and lurk around less.
Happy 2017!!!

Dawn

Fortunately, it's a sampler, so mom can hang it in her own bedroom if she wants. I was working on a bib for the oldest brother a few years ago, who has the same name as DH. We were at the Dr's office & when the doctor came to let us know the power/computers were out, he looked at the bib, looked at John, looked at me and said: " That's not big enough!" :-)

I recently finished Ross's White Tiger and just finished a little owl.

I check the newsgroup several times a week, and usually find
zero posts, so move on. It would be great if we could put some
life into it again.

Like several others have posted, I'm doing more knitting than
stitching these days, mostly because I was given a big load
of yarn a few years ago when a neighbor passed away. She was
a avid needleworker and knitter, but her family only wanted
to keep her finished projects, so I got most of her patterns,
books, and stitching and knitting materials, including a floor
stand which is still in the box.

And my Dazor blew a switch a couple of months ago...again.
I've gotten the replacement part from Dazor, but haven't
gotten a chance to do the repair yet. Maybe once it's working
again, I'll get the stitching urge again.

Currently working on a knitted, striped afghan...six stripes
down, four to go, plus finishing. Too many stitching UFOs
and designs to list.

I usually knit socks to give away, they are well received in our
climate! However, three years ago osteo turned up in my left thumb
and eventually had to have an op (they take out the joint then secure
the wrist joint to second thumb joint with tendon) It's six weeks of
sitting around in a splint but an op well worth it, my left hand is
perfect now. However same thing is happening in the right so in the
near future I'll be in a splint for another six weeks :(

I crocheted afghans for my kids when fuel bills reached a peak a few
years back so they could wrap those round their legs instead of
cranking up the thermostat - they liked them and they were fun to do.

I belong to a knitting Guild and we also do a lot of knitting for
charity, warm hats, gloves, socks etc.

This current in-progress afghan will be a gift.

I've also finished a baby afghan this fall that had been
started by my deceased neighbor. She knitted a LOT looser
than I do, and it's obvious where she left off and I took
over. She had only done about four inches and had an error
in a previous row too. No doubt the error caused her to
put it aside to fix, then she never got a chance to get
back to it before illness took over. :( Another neighbor
has a great-grandchild on the way in the spring, so the
finished afghan will go to her granddaughter for the new
little one. Since the deceased neighbor lived right next
door to the expectant great-grandma and they were friends,
the afghan will have some connection to the family.

I've also knitted a new hat for that same great-grandma-
to-be this fall since she asked for one a bit longer than
the alpaca one I made for her last year.

So a LOT of my knitting goes to others too.

I agree about cuddling up in afghans to save on heat in
the cold weather. I currently am doing that while at the
computer. Another afghan knitted from that inherited
stash of yarn. I've still got enough of that inherited
stash for two more afghans and a shawl and sweater. Yep,
that lady was a stash hoarder for sure. At least it didn't
go to waste!

I am lucky that I know a friends mother who knits little teddies for
children in stressful situations, people such as firemen take them and
hand them out to smaller children to comfort them when theres a fire
etc. So she can use anything up - on average she knits 200 of these
bears per year! So I do manage to keep my reserves to fairly limited
quantities :)

I also do more crocheting in the winter and cross stitch in the summer. I started a blanket for one of my sons but the pattern is a picture of a german style eagle and I can't watch TV and work on it at the same time. I haven't worked on it in years...maybe I'll have it done by the time he gets married and it will be a wedding gift.

As for my current crochet project, blankets for the Linus Project, I'm also using up inherited stash. Just doing granny squares so that I can put them together in all different sizes and this project has been one that I can tote around to appointments and such. But alas, all great projects must come to an end. Maybe I should go check for more of her stash, it might have gotten a little lost when I moved a couple of years ago.

I used to do a lot of crochet and knitting years ago but haven't for a long
time. I am strictly cross stitch now. I haven't even done any of that for
a while. I think this coming weekend is the time to start again. I hope to
have a new project planned out and then I can finish the one I am stitching.
Good to see so many people posting. I sure hope it can continue.

happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?

Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.

I recently finished Ross's White Tiger and just finished a little owl.
Now I am working on a patriotic sampler.


So are you going to put them on rctnp, Rich? I've always loved looking
at your work!

I *just* finished a switchplate cover design of some little roses to put
on the lightswitch in my new she-cave.

Next is to finish a small wedding design DD started when her best friend
got married...*8* years ago!!! DD got tired of it and a bit frustrated
so I said I'd finish it. Just the names and dates left to add. There
is some rust around the edges so I'm hoping I can get that out but
luckily none is in the design area itself so the matting could be put
close to the design if I can't.

After that it will be back to my Victorian house at night piece.

Some of you were speaking of knitting & crocheting. My sister had
bought some chenille-type yarn--a deep red--but couldn't see the
stitches she was making. She got fed up with it and gave all 9 skeins
to me. I think I'll make another afghan like I made with my alpaca yarn
a while back. I love the pattern--reversible and all cables! It will
go really well in my gray & red & blue living room!

I haven't visited rctnp in a long time... I find it easier to put them
up on FB. I'll try, but no promises.

I tried years ago to post on rctnp but could never figure it out. Now that we've updated a bit, could someone tell me how to get there & post?

Thank you!

Try

If you can't get in, ask to join. I am moderator but only insofaras
we did that because places were posting ads and we wanted to keep them
out.

Thanks! I'll give it a try this afternoon when I get back from town. A friend and I (and more friends?) are going to lunch and then to see Singin' in the Rain on the big screen at our local theater.

I'n not sure why I can't seem to post pics in this particular group. On my google group it's super simple to post pics right in the thread...no need to go elsewhere. When you hit the reply button in my group, there's a little picture icon that pops up and you click on it to insert a photo. How come you guys don't have that here?
