June Crafty Pies

So it feels like the new month has barely started...but it's already more than a week in! Which might explain why I'm already a couple of blog posts behind again. Yet again I'm having big plans to get caught up soonish (at least my reading and commenting is less than a week behind now!) so we'll see how that goes - for today, at least, we have my June crafty pies to talk about!

As you can see, I've been a bit more monogamous this month. Mostly stitching, but a good deal of crochet too (and some finishing, but that was mostly sewing crocheted pieces together!). Now to look at it on a per-project basis...

It looks like a lot, but was actually quite focused! Of my three crochet projects, two are finished (BB8 and the Sheep, the latter of which will be in my GG post next week). Stitchingwise, I finished the Hummingbird, May Bookmark, and Mini Mystery 4 (which you've already seen), did my monthly bit on the SALs (Blackwork, Bookmark, Temperature, which I'll post about soon, and TLOA, which I already did post about), as well as one rotation each on Dark Forces, Possibilities, and the Zoe Box. I kind of hope to get back to four rotations a month in July, but we'll see how that goes.

So the only thing I haven't really talked about lately is the Kanata Kerchief Top. I think I showed this one once when I started it, in September '18. It's a bit of a stash buster project as I've had a ton of this purple yarn for ages with no real plan what to use it for, and finally found this pattern which I think works nicely! While I still have a lot of baby projects to work on, I'm trying to finish something from my WIP list in between too, and this one shouldn't take too much longer. With the work I put in in June and this month, I finished the third panel and made a start of the forth, so hopefully I'll get to assembly soon:

Depending on how much yarn I have over, I might try to make a matching hat or something. I really want this gone from my stash, as pretty as it may be!
