Q1'26 Finshed list (5)

Zig's belly spot

The studio is not at this minute my happy place, and I'm not sure why. I need to reflect on this and figure out how to fix it. I think it involves less time on my phone. This is reflected in the very few completed projects from this Q1'26.

What else has been going on? A little travel. End of life care for a beloved cat. Lots of German study.

If I've kept accurate notes, this is what's done. I reserve the right to come back and add anything I remember later.

1. Coffee mug postcards
2. An Andean pickup band
3. Card woven band (plus I taught a class in it)
4. A basket
5. Some prepped fiber

Yep, not much, but I have a lot of things that really wouldn't take much time to complete: 

1. The Alabama Channin bandana is about 1/2 done. Beads take time!
2. The headband still just needs ends sewn in.
3. 4 napkins need hemming. <Yawn>
4. The Age of Aquarius poncho panels are complete; it needs sewing together and a band knitted on the sleeves. 
5. The baby blankets are almost wound on. Slowest Project Ever.
6. There some small progress on the table substrate.
7. The panels for the last rice bag are done and the bag just needs sewing together.

I also started a knitted t-shirt for travel knitting. More on that in a later post.

Two things that are stalled and maybe gone:

• The Dissent sweater: I'm debating whether or not I like it enough to not frog it. The color work is not well done; the white is the wrong yarn.
• I mentioned a 2nd block I've carved. While I like it in theory I think I could do a better job, just haven't done it.

I also attended an Alabama Channin class with some amazing roses sewn onto fabric with beads... there was a tshirt online that had the roses on the yoke, and I must have it.  I have fabric for this and bought beads to do it as well. In addition, I'd like to make a t-shirt using their techniques but another graphic in the blue fabrics I have. I am aiming to do that this summer. 

Will Q2. be any better? Hmmm... I have 6 weeks of travel planned over the next 9 weeks. So we'll see if anything gets done!
