Rotation Changeover - 2024 Rotation #1, Slot #1 (Pictorial) finish AND Slow Sunday Stitching - January 21, 2024

On Saturday, there was a STEM type competition at my grandson's Junior High.   

In between his presentation and the teams project he was on, I had a couple of hours tucked into the back of the commons at a table with a thermos of tea and my stitching.   And I made some really good progress on my perforated paper Santa, (See the last pic of it here.)  Finished Santa's coat and the horse ALMOST has a head!

The hat is on round 9 of 14 crown decreases, so that's close to a finish, too.  

And speaking of finishes - The Sugar Skull is done!  (finish post is here for all the stats and it's already at the framers!)  BTW, fabric color is closer on this picture.

I'm waffling on what to work on next.   I sort of want to put in some non-travel time and get the Santa finished, or work on the eagle so I can get those scroll bars freed up and get my next full coverage on them, or work on the BBD needlebook which is close to a stitching finish, or my second WIPGO call for finishing on the little fall band sampler.    I get this way whenever I finish a major project.  I think I'll go knit on the hat while I decide!  And go look at the rest of the SSS crew's progress on all the things - very inspirational!  (Link to current roundup.)

  1. Look at you go! Is the sugar skull for you or someone else? Santa and his reindeer both need heads! You will soon be done two more projects. I’ll be watching to see what you work on next. Gail at the Cozy Quilter

  2. Your finished Sugar Skull is resplendent in colour and pattern. A most lovely finish. Such a good idea to pack a thermos of tea and some stitching to enjoy for your grandson's school competition.

  3. Wow, all of these are so lovely! As a relatively new CS-er there was a time when I would have not understood your "next project" dilemma but I totally get it now. Definitely finish up the Santa as it's almost done. Funny, quilting got me into CS and recently a Flosstube video prompted me to buy some yarn and try to get back into knitting. Crafts are enabling!
