Slow Sunday Stitching - February 1 AND Full Coverage February 2026 Plans

Lots of progress this week.  Let's start with the FFO.   Finished the Autumn Roads Musselburgh Hat. (Link to my Ravelry project page for all the details).  I do love this yarn!  It's a great snugly hat, warm and soft.  5 stars, recommend.  I almost hate to donate it, but it will keep someone nice and warm.

Next up is the rotation changeover on the vintage needlepoint piece, "Old Farmhouse / Alter Bauernhof".  Ten hours got the sky finished as well as the belltower and church roof.   See the changeover post for the back side pictures and progress details.

And for the current WiP, we are on to the Finish / Frame slot in the rotation.   And I have a plan of work for the assembly on the KC Plaza Stitching Bag.   This is the only project from 2025 that isn't to an FFO status.   So past time to get it done and dusted.   Here's the pile of materials including the rest of the fabric that matches the finishing on all the Guild Smalls, tape for the drawstring casing, perle cotton to make the drawstrings, interfacing, etc.   Since I have no finishing directions, I'm sort of figuring it out as I go.

Last, but certainly not least, the Mead Dragon.  Here is the month end report for January with all the stats and the comparison picture.   

I need to talk a bit about what's next on this project.  Today kicks off "Full Coverage February".  I just have the one full coverage project.  As is my usual practice, I'm not doing any of the challenges that have bingo boards, decision wheels, acrostics or similar ways to select between multiple full coverage pieces.  (That way lies madness!)  But I am planning on working on her monogamously in February (other than the hand sewing on the KC Bag). 

I only have about 8% left, but that is still about 7,400 stitches per Pattern Keeper.  I have never even come close to that many stitches in a month, so doubt I can get her finished in February, but I intend to see how far I can get. I am going to challenge myself to finish as many colors as I can in the run up to getting this project done.   I'm starting with 10 colors completed as of January 31.  I'll report on her weekly just like I did last year.

Linking up with the SSS crew for this week's roundup.  Accountability and Inspiration.
