I hope you enjoy!! I’m on hiatus for a bit because I got a new puppy and stitching has been difficult, let alone finding time to film. I’m hoping for an end of year WIP parade.

Unfortunately no, they had it up for sale at the end of last year and then they closed it down. I’m not sure if they will do another one for 2025 or not, but if you follow the official HAED group on FB that’s where I heard about it. I’ll cross my fingers that they have another one for 2025!

Thank you!! I do love full coverage ❤️

Aimee Stewart is so amazing. I get a lot of my grime guards from Maggie’s Minders in Etsy!! She’s great!

Thank you! 🤗

Thank you so much! I do want to get into a better filming cadence!

@@Secondwindstitcher you're fine, I once took a two year hiatus from my walking group lol life gets in the way things get busy as long as you're looking after yourself things happen when they need to :)

That is a true story!! ❤️

He’s such a fun artist!! The little details are what get me on the dragon patterns. So fun to find as you’re stitching.

You got this! It’s so much fun to stitch!! Enjoy ❤️

Thank you so much! ❤️

On most evenings I stitch about 3 hours maybe? Weekends are longer if I don’t have a lot going on. When I was in the groove with my focus full coverage pieces it was 45-60 minutes each day and then I would switch to a different project for the rest of the time.

Thank you!! ❤️❤️

Thank you!! They are certainly a labor of love! Every stitch counts! There are so many beautiful things I want to work on. ❤️

Thank you! They are a labor of love, but very stitch counts. There are so many beautiful patterns I want to work on ❤️

Thank you!! I know the feeling of being behind on Flosstube! I’m behind on getting my next update out, these last couple of months have been a little busy for me!!

I can’t wait for her to get called!

I did finally have to stop buying so many q-snaps, but a lot of my big pieces stay in them cause it’s too much of a pain to swap it out 🤣

It’s a good thing that I’m mostly a process stitcher and not a progress stitcher! 🤣

Thanks for watching!

I love full coverage! Do you have a favorite that you’re working on?

Oh gosh! I have probably about 30 full coverage wips, so I can't pick a favorite!@@Secondwindstitcher

Thank you! It has been interesting. I had been tracking how many stitches with full coverage for a couple years since I started using Pattern Keeper, but I hadn’t ever looked at overall numbers per month, etc. so it’s been interesting to count everything this year.

Thank you so much!!

Yep, it’s just temporarily in the UFO pile. Maybe more of a long term time out 🤭

Thank you! 😊

Thank you!! Are you going to Stitch New England again this year? If so, I’d love to be table mates again.

​@@Secondwindstitcher I wish I was! That retreat was so fun but this year I will be in California at that time visiting friends and stuff.

Not all silks are created equally. I love the Silks4u silks, I rarely get knots with it and I’m comfortable stitching with two stands on 18 ct, which is what I do most of my Long Dogs on. I haven’t actually stitched with Caron silks yet, and while they feel lovely, I can see they might tangle a bit more than I would like. But hey, there are lots of cotton thread options too. Dyeing for Cross Stitch has some really cool variegated options and she sells them in large lengths so you are sure to get the same dye lot. Thanks for the feedback on the numbers 😁

@@Secondwindstitcher Thanks for taking the time to reply and offer suggestions! I'm hardly a new stitcher... but perhaps an uncreative one. That's okay.

I am not terribly creative when it comes to altering patterns and I agonize about my choices for the ones I do customize.

@@Secondwindstitcher Oh, I understand that! Amusingly, the one I went whole hog on customizing was my Lavender & Lace Celtic Winter - from colors to body. But that was all DMC so, apparently, I went "eh, whatever." So I still haven't decided on what to use for Pandemic but I've also told myself I can't start it, yet, so I guess it's moot.

Loooooooooooong time follow up here. I caved and ordered Silks4u for my eventual Long Dog Sampler Pandemic start (I put it in my etsy cart and then got a discount code). You're right; they're lovely and I think they'll be nice to use. However, I feel like I might also want to cake them on my yarn swift and ball winder!

That is good to hear!! I will have to play with one stand vs two on the 36ct to see how I like the coverage for each!

Thank you for the feedback 🙂

I love the Highland cow chart so much!! You can be thankful and annoyed at the same time. 😊 I understand that blend of feelings very well. I have a few other Aimee Stewart’s it’s just funny that a bunch of them got called so early in the year.

Thank you!!

Oooh that one is so pretty!

Thank you for the feedback on the numbers 😁 Finding your sweet spot for preferred stitching method can be challenging. Which is why I’m thinking of trying something new with the Cozy Winter Evening to see if I like ECC. I do limited cross country now within my Q-Snap frame so that would be the biggest change, moving the Q-Snap more. We’ll see how it goes!

Thank you!! Both of those pieces are so fun to stitch it can be hard to out them down and work on others in my rotation!! Hope your February is treating you well 😁

Thank you! I did get my new start in for my birthday, she's a big one, but beautiful.

Thank you!! And you are so welcome!! Welcome that stitchy big back 😊

Thanks so much! 😊

Thank you so much!

Thank you! It is a lot of top left corners, I’ve tried starting in other corners and end up struggling, so I stick with what works for me for now 🤭

I’m loving seeing the blue book come in, I’m glad I’m using it as a focus piece this year. ❤️

Keeping my fingers crossed!! Thank you so much ❤️

The utility cart was a game changer for the active WIPS. When I have company over it can be rolled into another room and out of the way! Otherwise I have lots of storage in my craft/guest room for all the other WIPs, kits, charts and thread. Then I have a rolling clothing rack with shelves where I hang all my fabric.

Thank you!! I love watching your progress on all your projects!!

That’s and interesting thought for the Hamsa, I’ll have to think on it and some more when it gets called for this year 😁

Thank you so much!

I’m glad you’re enjoying WIPGO so far! It can be a lot of fun and has helped me get progress on all my projects.

Thank you!! It’s going to be a fun year!! I’m so looking forward to starting Saga on Leap Day 😁
