The Emporium of Forgotten Threads

Year of Projects 2025-2026: Week 13

I finished up the first Dyad sample this week. If you’d like to read more details about it, you can see the post I wrote here.

I will be winding yarn to start the second sample this week.

I have added in a few rows on my Painted Plains Scarf. I kind of need to get moving along on this one if I plan to use it for a holiday gift!

I was just about done the Compass Cowl but my husband decided he didn’t really like the bright green so I ripped back and took those sections out and I’m reknitting using just the other 4 colors, which he’s much happier with.

Another block finished on the snowman-themed Postcard Cuties quilt. I think I’ve got 5 more blocks to make.

I am still working on the chrysanthemum section but I’m going to try to get those finished up this week for The Autumn Garden x-stitch.

Finally, more little scrappy star hexis are done! I’m really enjoying working on these right now!

My fabric for the second set of blocks for the Jane Austen quilt arrived so I’m prepping those (mor hand appliqué) so I’ve got that to work on this week too!

    These look great. I love how you are managing to knit, quilt and stitch. I often had trouble balancing them and would focus on one for months (or years) and neglect the others. I hope that when I am finally able to pick up my crafts regularly again that I can manage to get that balance that you seem to have.

      To be honest, I’ve also had those periods of ultra-focus so I think it’s probably natural to tend towards that. My current typical process is to work on something for a total of 1-2 hours and then switch to something else (either at that time or the next time I sit to craft.) Having been diagnosed in the last 2 years with RA that has really affected my hands, that’s the only way I can work on anything anymore so it’s what works for me! Gets me progress on things without overdoing 😊

        That’s a good idea, thanks. I initially stopped knitting for a while because I was having circulation issues and my fingers had lots of painful chilblains or were swollen. Even using nice soft wool, I found it was irritating my hands. But I could work on my quilts (I hand piece) and stitch. Thankfully, I found a way to get that under control (compression gloves for the win), but that also coincided with other things happening that stopped me crafting at all. I’ll try your suggestion when I pick things up again (soon, I hope)

        Cheering you on – I hope you’re able to return to crafting soon!
