Stitch Me

I've been cross-stitching for about 6 years. I've done quite a few large pieces as well as small ones just for fun. I taught myself how to crochet January 2014 and I just wanted somewhere where I can show my work as well as get new inspiration for future projects.

Finished!!!

It’s been about 2 weeks since I completed it but have been so busy I’ve only just found time to post it.

I’m so happy it’s finished and can’t wait to start a new project!

The main part of the blanket is finished. Now for the border

[letsstitch]

All rows are now planned. Ready to join the last 4 rows and then it will be on to the border

[letsstitch]

Almost there. I've made up 3 rows of centres and I just need to make up one more and then join them and the main part of the blanket will be finished. Then it will be on to the border.

This is how big it now is. It's growing and soon the main part will be finished!

[letsstitch]

This beauty is getting so big I've had to fold it in half to work with it. Two more rows planned and ready to join.

[letsstitch]

I am over half way with this beauty. I've planned the next two rows but I only have just under a whole ball of my joining colour left, so I'm hoping it will last today so I can pick up some more tomorrow!

I'm having a lovely week off work. This popped up on my Facebook this morning and I can't believe it's been exactly a year since I finished it. This is definitely my favourite piece I've done and it's still yet to be framed. This

Had a lovely 3 days off from work. Spent some time working on this! Having to make up more of the circles because I'm running low again. I've done countless chores and got my hair cut for the first time in about a year!

[letsstitch]

Huge progress on this beauty. It now fits across a double bed!

Monday is here again and the sun is shining. I had a lovely weekend off work and I'm lucky to have today off as well. I've spent the morning so far tidying and waiting for the washing to finish so I can put it out to dry (: I plan to spend my day watching Game of Thrones season 4 and adding to my blanket. It's my birthday in less than a month and I have asked my sister if she could buy me some yarn so I can make a new blanket.

The Periodic Table

I really like this design. I made it for a friend.

You can get the pattern here. (it is free)

This may be my next project.

When you get bored of joining granny squares and start a new blanket from squares from yarn that's lying around.

A little bit of Pinterest inspiration.

Happy Tuesday everyone! It's my day off which I'm kind of happy about as the weather is horrendous. The wind is so loud and my partner text to say his drive to work wasn't easy (he commutes 40 minutes to work and it's driving between open fields). My plan today is to tidy, crochet and watch movies! I'm still a long way from finishing my colourful granny square blanket but I'm spending the morning getting inspiration and ideas from Pinterest for my next blanket.

Back working on this.

Finished this today!!!
