Tiny Treasures – Stage 10

It’s time for another SAL update. Tiny Treasures was designed by  Liz Almond  and the original chart is a free download from Blackwork Journey. This is where I was up to last time.

Stage 9

Another four boxes and 5 flowers have been added.

Stage 10 

My knitting is finished so that’s no longer a distraction from Tiny Treasures. However, we’ve had lots of lovely sunshine during the past couple of weeks and the garden needed attention. It would’ve been a shame to stay indoors and miss out on all that vitamin D wouldn’t it? The garden looks so much tidier!

One of our long term members Sue has sadly decided to leave the SAL. I’m sure she’ll still be crafting so pop over to her blog and see what she’s up to when you get a chance.

Please check out what everyone else has been up to by clicking their names below. We live all over the world so you may need to allow for time differences. Posting takes place every third Sunday, local time. Our next  updates will be posted on the 21st March 2021.

About the SAL

Please note this SAL is not accepting any more new members until further notice but this is what it’s all about anyway. This SAL (Stitch Along) is slightly different to other SALs in that we don’t all stitch the same design at the same rate. We choose ONE unfinished project, or ONE new one, and show progress of its completion over a series of three weekly updates. There are no deadlines and no set amount to stitch. The result is that the space in our drawers full of WIPs (works in progress) is gradually being freed up to store lots of new crafty goodness. It’s surprising how much motivation I’ve gained from being in this SAL.

Tiny Treasures – Stage 9

It’s time for another SAL update. Just a quickie this time because I’ve still got the knitting bug.

Tiny Treasures was designed by  Liz Almond  and the original chart is a free download from Blackwork Journey. This is where I was up to last time.

Stage 8

Another four boxes and 5 flowers have been added.

Stage 9

Three rows of boxes to go. I’ve been trying to finish knitting a scarf before it gets too warm to wear it. Fat chance of that happening here soon! It’s still really cold and dark and wet, wet, wet! I’ve started a few seeds indoors and the seed potatoes have arrived but it’s far too wet for outdoor gardening at the moment.

Tiny Treasures – Stage 8

Doesn’t time fly? We’re more than half way through January already! It’s time for another SAL update.

Tiny Treasures was designed by  Liz Almond  and the chart is a free download from Blackwork Journey. This is where I was up to last time.

Stage 7

Another four boxes and 5 flowers have been added.

Stage 8

I really like the basketwork box this time. There’s now only 4 more rows to stitch before our Happy Dance.

Tiny Treasures – Stage 7

Happy Christmas to everyone if you celebrate it and best wishes for 2021. This very strange year has flown by!

Now for the SAL update….

Tiny Treasures was designed by  Liz Almond  and the chart is a free download from Blackwork Journey. This is where I was up to last time.

Stage 6

I’ve added another four boxes and five flowers. The outer border has been extended by a couple of inches past the edge of the photo because I just kept stitching until the pieces of thread were all used up.

Tiny Treasures – Stage 4

Tiny Treasures was designed by  Liz Almond  and the chart is a free download from Blackwork Journey. This is where I was up to last time.

Stage 3

I haven’t done as much for this update but I’m pleased it’s coming along. Here’s where I’m up to now.

Stage 4

There’s a tiny bit of the border hiding. It’s rolled under the frame on the right hand side.

I’ve been busy doing loads of jobs outside in the garden recently and there’s still lots to do. It’s good to be out in the fresh air but it doesn’t leave much time for stitching. The daylight hours are getting shorter so there’ll be more time for crafting soon. Maybe I should get some quilt tops out to quilt. It’s a while since I’ve done that and it’s a nice cold evening activity.

Tiny Treasures – Stage 2

Tiny Treasures was designed by  Liz Almond  and the chart is a free download from Blackwork Journey. This is where I was up to last time.

Stage 1

It’s growing 🙂

Stage 2

If you download the chart for this design you’ll notice I’m changing quite a lot and adding my own extras here and there. The purple is popping nicely but I’m still not happy with the greens in the variegated thread which I’ve used inside the boxes. It’s got some quite pale shades and they’re not showing up as much as I would’ve liked. I’m attempting to make the stitching more dense and I’ll probably go back over the first stages later and add even more so don’t be surprised if you notice changes as it grows.
