Book of Ink Circles Update


Here is my latest update on Book of Ink Circles after a week of stitching....I've finished all the counting, just need to fill in the borders. The second picture is the last square of the pattern I customized it a bit - I changed the "20" in "2009" to "KK" for my initials...and then when I did that, I needed to widen out the "0" and the "9" so that it would match the K's, if that makes any sense. I'm sad to see this SAL come to a close (I'm a little behind everyone else finishing it up, but it will happen soon enough.....). It's been fun, and it's introduced me to Tracy's patterns, which could be a dangerous thing. One of the next things coming up on my list is going to have to be Growth Rings that's in Just Cross Stitch. I have the magazine, but I haven't kitted it up yet.

Thank you to Tracy for sharing this wonderful pattern with us - and thank you to all of you for checking out my blog!

(And keep your fingers crossed - my nephew's national tournament for hockey is this week! I'll keep you posted!!).

BOINK is beautiful and it's a great idea to put your initials and the year on it.

Your ink circles is coming out very nice - that will definitely be a treasure. I will keep my fingers crossed for your nephew for his tournament, too! Keep me posted (although I think that one of our coaches on my younger son's team...might be the coach & has an older son on your nephew's team...hows that for being a small world?).
