Hi everyone!
It’s been an absolutely beautiful early autumn weekend here in Rhode Island – comfortable, low-humidity temperatures with a mix of sun and clouds and a gentle breeze. The leaves are just starting to turn color now, but nowhere near the gorgeous peak color that you see in travel photos. Most things are still very, very green here. I love this time of year and try to soak in as much time as possible outside.
It’s been another productive stitchy month on my end. I’m not exactly where I’d like to be on a couple projects, but that’s okay. I’m very happy with my progress on so many pieces this year. 🙂 My brain is already itching to start on planning for 2022, and I’m trying to keep it quiet! Still lots of time to stitch in 2021.
As we go into the final quarter of 2021, though – I would love to hear your thoughts. What kinds of things would you like to change for the WIPocalypse in 2022? Do you like the format as-is? Let me know your feedback so I can plan some adjustments if the SAL needs a bit of a refresh.
October Focus Month
October will be our final focus month of the year. Pick one of your WIPs and set a goal to place at least one stitch per day into it. (or a larger goal, if that works better for you). The idea is that you won’t be able to stop at just one stitch, so you’ll be able to get a nice amount of progress on it! Make sure to take before and after photos of your project for the month.
I’ll leave you here for now. Happy October stitching!
Best,
Melissa

Please remember that this stitch-a-long is intended to be fun – so if you’re too busy to post, too busy/ill/etc. to stitch – no worries! Post when you can and share what you have going, even if you’ve only been able to toss a single stitch into it. If you miss a few months, not a problem – just jump back in when you’re back with us! It’s not a race or a competition – we’re all just here to cheer each other on with our progress.
