50 Projects, Let's Do This! 2022

[Findmecrafting]

wow I have been away for such a long time! I took progression pics of one of my projects with every intention on posting, but I never did
so here’s some projects that I am still working on:

I’ve been working on this for a while now, and I’m so excited that I’m almost so close to finishing it! It’s my first giant cross stitch project that wasn’t a kit. It was suppose to be a Christmas gift, that turned into a birthday gift, that turned into a Christmas gift again because I didn’t think it would take me THIS long to finish.

To take a break from my cross stitch project, I recently got back into knitting. I picked up a yarn cake (which I’ve never bought before cuz I was a bit intimated by all the colors) and started this baby blanket

To change up my knitting a baby blanket, I started a new knitting project I’m giving myself til hopefully be done before my mother’s bday in May

and some finished projects that I hope still counts

my first time baking with fruit in it never made a pineapple upside down cake before! I made this for my boyfriend’s bday, with some cupcakes as well. (made it from a box mix)

first time I made healthy cookies from scratch! Plus I’ve never made shaped cookies without a cutter, they were so fun to make and decorate!

Wow–the cross stitch is amazing! I bet you are excited to have it done!

Love that you are back into knitting…it is such a pretty colorway.

And, yum…those goodies look great! The bears are so cute!

@Mvanrh11 Ooo you have a fun sense of humor! I love your Galentine’s cards quite a bit.

[Findmecrafting]

@Abbeeroad thank you so much! Definitely my pride and joy!

@AIMR I get more and more excited every day that I work on it! i switch between the cross stitch and the knitting. I think the bears are cute too! Never thought I could just shape my cookie dough using the spoon

I have just realised how neglected my list has been! This has always been one of my favourite alongs, but I have been a little lax this year!

I updated my list!

Nice list!

I finished a WIP. I bought these kits a few years ago when they were on sale on the DMC site. Yeah, I bought six of them, thinking I would make them up as gifts for any baby showers, etc. Well, I made two and just got sick of them. They came with their own stuffed animal. This one is the cat. The color is more purple and blue with a hint of gray…I am sure my camera is off because it is dark.

The actual blanket is a nice blankie size…I used the @geekgirl stitch…single, double, across the row and double, single back…easy peasy but a nice stitch to do while streaming

Tell me more about this namesake stitch. Do the sc stack on the sc and dc stack on dc or alternating?

[TheMistressT (Tara - she/her)]

These will make lovely baby gifts!

[AIMR (Linda -2024 Choose Projects that You Want to Do :us:)]

You alternate. One one row, you do a single, a double all across. On the next row, you put a double into the single and a single into the double. It makes everything even out but gives a nice texture. Great for a close weave feel. I use this now as a go-to for washcloths and smaller blankets.

Alternating!

I’ve also done hdc, slip stitch alternating

Hand towel for my half-bath

It’s super simple @craftADDchick . You chain an odd number and starting in second chain from hook you alternate single crochet, double crochet. Ending with double crochet and you should have an even number of stitches. Then chain one and turn. Then repeat single, double, single, double. So that each new single crochet is in a double from the previous row and each new double is in a single of the previous row. I really like the look of this pattern and use it for dishcloths and used it on this b…

oooh–thanks for the link…I found another stitch, the Suzette, that looks interesting! I have a book of hundreds of crochet stitches, but always go to the familiar. I have four more kits to do, so I am going to switch it up so I don’t get bored! Thanks!

[geekgirl]

I’ve also heard it called the Crunchy stitch

[geekgirl]

I have a book on different crochet edges and I always revert back to shells as I like the look
