It is nice to have this finished well before the end of the month. It went together well - I think because I was very careful with my cutting and machining. The pages of this book were one per month for my Stitch Journal 2024 and each month followed the RSC colours - two birds etc. I used Karen Turner's stitch journal templates for 2023. It has made up into a nice zig zag book and will make a great stitch reference book.
The front cover opens out to reveal January and February
March and April
May and June
Back cover
July and August
September October
November and December
The front and back covers are stiffened with mountboard, but the pages are not stiffened.
Many thanks to Deana for organising the Chookshed Challenge - I will be linking up with her later in the month.
========================================================
Now to this weeks Stitch Journal.
Having completed the zig zag book I have had time to concentrate on my knitting and this sock is coming along a treat. Up to the toe now. The colour repeat is unusual and having had a pink cuff and a pink heel I was hoping for a pink toe but it looks like it is going to be mostly yellow.
I treated myself to another new start and purchased the Ryegrass sock pattern from Winwick Mum. I had this yarn left over from a previous pair of socks.
The pattern is a mosaic design which uses two colours but only one colour in each row. I am pleased with how it is knitting up.
Looking forward to getting more of this knitted up over the weekend. See you next week.
Ooh, that's a fabulous zig zag book and your socks are looking great, too! I do like the colours you've chosen for Ryegrass, they work together beautifully well! :) xx

Gosh the journal turned out absolutely lovely Lin. You will be so chuffed with it. It's lovely to see all the months together as I had forgotten them as you showed them on here. Some other wonderful projects you've been working on. Cold here - good crafting by the fire weather. xx
ReplyDeleteLin, your 2024 stitching book is lovely...well done on the early finish.
ReplyDeleteSad about the yellow toe...but you just have to go with the flow!
Gorgeous purples colours coming up!
Your 2024 journal finished so nicely. I love the colors. I've never knitted anything except hats and scarves....oh, and a market bag. Your pretty socks are inspiring me, so maybe I'll try to learn this winter.
ReplyDeleteThe zig zag has turned out splendidly!
ReplyDeleteYou must be so pleased with how your stitching journal turned out. It’s fabulous. Enjoy your sock knitting. I’m up to the toe on sock #2 of my scrappy ones. Your latest pattern looks a bit too involved for me. I’ll enjoy seeing how yours grows.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting your stitch journal together. I felt like reaching out and running my hands over the different textures on each page.
ReplyDeleteQuelle belle idée, ce journal de points de broderie ! Magnifique, j'aime beaucoup la page bleue de juin. Amitiés !
ReplyDeleteOh I looove that new yarn! Awesome colours. Your stitched journal looks amazing. Well worth the effort. Love your socks.
