Work in Progress Wednesday 129

Happy Wednesday! I hope you're having a great day and week so far. My Monday didn't go so great, but my Tuesday was much better, so let's hope Wednesday continues the trend. I have even more to look forward to, as this weekend is TNNA! I'll be going with a friend of mine on Sunday and I can't wait. Is it too nerdy that I'm super excited to meet a lot of the "celebrity" knitting community?

Anyway, let's talk about work in progresses!

As you can see, I've been working a little on my Color Affection shawl. The pattern goes a lot faster than I expected, to be honest. I feel like I haven't work on it very much, but I'm halfway through the second section of the pattern. So far so good. With every stripe, I'm falling more in love with my color choices. As mentioned, I'm doing it in Candy Skein Sweet Fingering (coming this week to the CS shop!) in Fudge Brownie, Brain Freeze and later to be added, Pumpkin.



As most of you seemed to like how I shared my last cross stitch pattern, I decided I would share this one as well. I'm super excited about it, as this is my first time using linen!! I love it, despite having to concentrate a lot more than with the Aida cloth. The picture looks a little wonky, as my lines look crooked. They aren't, rest assure, it's just my snap frame pulling the linen uneven. What I'm working on is the January square for Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery's 2013 pattern, Woodland Sampler. On the 2nd of each month, we receive a pattern in our email to do the next square. I'm a little behind, as you can see. I wanted to finish my previous cross stitch before starting this one. That's right, I finished the other one, but that will be for Friday. Once I finish this square, I'll move onto February and hopefully finish that early so that I can continue on and do all the frames for the year.

Just a reminder, only a few more days of the Yarniacs 15% off code at Candy Skein! Just enter the coupon code YARNIACS during checkout to receive 15% off of your total purchase. The code ends February 1st!

That's it for me today. I hope you have a great rest of the week. I'll see you Friday!
