Hello! I'd like to start by saying thank you very much for all the lovely comments you left on my previous post about Archie. I'll be honest, I did intend replying individually to each and every one, but I just can't do it, so please consider this your reply. Thank you xx
I've finished quite a few things, both from my
Finish-Along lists and not (oops!), and here's a sample:
 |
| Mini Archie's hexy quilt |
 |
| Welly socks for Moo |
 |
| Socks for Sarah (Moo's mam) |
 |
| Socks for me |
 |
| A crocheted wreath, started before last Christmas and abandoned when it became clear it wouldn't be finished in time! |
 |
| A Fair Isle jumper for Mini Archie (my first ever Fair Isle and my first ever jumper, what a project to start with!) |
 |
| I finished my seaside embroidery (on my FAL since Q3 2015) and made it into a pouch |
 |
| A Lola pouch for a friend |
 |
| A Lola pouch for my sister-in-law |
 |
| Another wreath which was abandoned just before Christmas last year |
 |
Another jumper for Mini Archie (not Fair Isle this time as I needed to knit a plain jumper to test the pattern) - the tree was added with Swiss darning
|
And finally (drum roll, please!)...
...my Christmas Cherry quilt is finished!!
-
I started this quilt four years ago (and started thinking about it at least eighteen months before that!), it's nice to have it finished!
Sorry if some these photos are blurry - I use an app which is supposed to upload photos to Flickr (for use on my blog) and Twitter whenever I post to Instagram, but it doesn't always work (read: often doesn't work) so a lot of these are screenshots taken from the web version of Instagram. Maybe squint and see if that helps!
Mini Archie has been trying hard to step into Archie's paw prints, and you can see lots of his adventures on Instagram (I know not everyone has an account, but if you follow the link, you can see the posts, just not comment on them)
https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/miniarchiethewonderdog/ and has proved to be quite a hard taskmaster:

| I is inspecting your sewing. So far, it is up to snuff... |
I hope you've all had a good Christmas and I send best wishes for you and yours for 2018 - may it be the year you're hoping it will be.
Thanks for popping in!
Hi Helen, Lovely to see all your projects, Mini Archie is cute, I love the wardrobe you are creating for him. Which is just what it should be. The teeny tiny hexies are brilliant.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you back again! Lots of good work on that collection.
ReplyDeleteKepp her on task, mini Archie!

Lovely to see you back here, Helen. Your projects are all beautiful and mini Archie is adorable. I hope you have a very happy and healthy 2018 :) xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely selection of projects Helen, you have styled them beautifully for the photoshoot too.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see the Christmas Cherry all done, it's a beauty, I adore the crochet wreaths and your socks make me want to try and knit some.
Good to see you back in the saddle.xx
I'm so glad to see you're still making pretty things! This is my third attempt at trying to comment, as Blogger has booted me off twice before. Hopefully it'll get through this time. I have missed your posts and hope that you and Mini Archie will continue to post about what you're making. I hope you have a good New Year, both of you.
ReplyDeleteI love Mini Archie (and was very touched by your prior post, what a wonderful relationship you two had)! I can see that he is on the job overseeing your projects. :)
ReplyDeletesome great finishes there Helen. Of course my favourite was the MA hexie blanket. But .... what about your list for this quarter???
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe of your crafts, particularly your gorgeous Christmas Cherry quilt. I started making lap quilts a while ago and I'm addicted to it now!
