I feel like I'm finally getting back into a good rhythm with my blogging, and if that means WIPocalypse psots fall into the next month, I'm okay with that!
Are you having a good spring this far? April went by in a flash, but I did get a lot of stuff done, so I'm not complaining. I had a couple finishes - the baby bonnet, the lace scarf, and one more that I still got to show you - and one start - a new pair of socks - so my total WIP count moved down to 53. It still sounds and feels like way too much, but I'm happy with the progress I've been making , so I try to focus on that.
Now the question of the month is What is your oldest WIP? Tell us a little bit about it. I think I've already brought this up a couple times this year - my oldest WIP, and the only WIP pre-this blog, so also the only one I can't properly date, is this pretty blue table cloth!
I've been working away on it during focus event these past year, and it is absolutely on my to-finish-list this year! As you can see, it's stamped cross stitch, and I just don't enjoy that too mucht the printed stitches never properly line up with the fabric, it's annoying. But this is my last WIP of the kind, so that will soon be behind me. Hopefully!

The tablecloth is very pretty! You are very close to finishing.
My first stitching projects were stamped pillow cases, but I’m not so fond of stamped cross stitch now.
I'm sure you'll have this finished this year, Leonore. It's very pretty, but I do know what you mean about the stitches never completely covering the stamped x's. I think that is how I started back in the early 1970s (before you were even born--ha ha!). Hope May is a good month for you! ♥
Happy Spring Gracie: So happy to see a post from you, I am a little slow posting on Blogger myself. I like the blue table scarf so pretty, I know what you mean about noy having the lines lined up, I only do stamped cross stitch if it's a design I really like.
I never have a work in Progress, I am a one at a time stitcher, I am one that likes to see a design finished sooner, I rather envy stitchers that are able to have more then one project going at a time, I get way to OCD if I have more then one in the works.
I hope to see another post from you soon.
