Year of Projects 2025-2026: Week 11

This week I’ve been working on just a few things:

Dyad – I am almost done the first sleeve with just the ribbing to do so I’m going to try to finish that this week and then get the second sleeve halfway done. I’m ready to get this one finished but I’m having a hard time just powering thru it.

Compass Cowl – I cast this on and worked the ribbing and 2 pattern repeats. This is a fun and quick project. I’m enjoying making a second version (which I don’t say very often). I’d like to get a couple more repeats done on this.

The Autumn Garden – I’ve also been working on this a bit at night this week. I’ve got the big patch of chrysanthemums to stitch and then this one will be just about half done.

I did get my quilt top packed up and sent to the long-arm quilter. He’s got about a 6-8 week queue so I don’t expect to hear much on that until maybe early November but at least it’ll be on his list!

  1. Wow, just love the neck of the Dyad sweater. Will it be button front or a zippered front?

    1. The designer actually has it with no closure. Although I think it benefits from something. I think she styles it in photos with a big chunky pin (like a shawl pin).

  2. These all look great! I love that you did the backstitching of the words before the piece was otherwise finished; I like mixing in the backstitches with the cross stitches for variety (and because I think it looks cool).

    1. Thank you! I like the mix too – and that the words help with placement of the otherwise kind of random plants leaves and vines. 😊

      1. That’s a good point! Any way to make the counting easier is good.
