2022 is upon us. I had written my plans for next year and kinda put together which projects I will use for each SAL. However, I wanted to document the SALs and explanation of each one of them.
- IHSW (International Hermit & Stitching Weekend): every 3rd full weekend of the month (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). I will stitch the projects I’m currently stitching during that week.
- TUSAL (Totally Useless Stitch-A-Long): every new moon day post a picture of my ORT jar. ORT= Old Raggedy Threads. These are the left over threads I cut after I’m done stitching. I will add a picture of the lunar calendar for reference.
- WIPGO; like BINGO but this is Bingo for cross stitch. My board was posted earlier so the projects that will be used are there.
- WIPocalypse; a list of projects that will be worked on during the year. I have a total of 49 WIPs but 30 of them will be actively worked on during 2022.
- BRRINGO; same as WIPGO but this one is modified to working on a project with specific description. For instance, working on a project with letters, or working on my oldest project, etc.
- WIP and Wonders; this one is hosted by Full Coverage Fanatics and it involves visiting the 20 wonders of the world. The whole objective of the SAL is to take a project for each of the wonder and stitch 5,000 for that project. I can use the same project for all wonders or use a different one for each one.
- 22,000 in 2022; this one is also hosted by Full Coverage Fanatics and it’s pretty self explanatory: stitch 22,000 in 2022. However, only one project can be used.
- HEAVENMANIA; this one is hosted by Tiempo Entre Cruces. The goal is to stitch on a Heaven and Earth Design piece
- 22 World Cities or 66,000 stitches; also hosted by Tiempo Entre Cruces. The goal is stitch 3,000 stitches per city. In other words, when I reach 3,000 stitches on a city, go to the next city. We will be starting with Amsterdan on Jan 1st.
- Seasonal Stitch; stitch on a piece according to the station we are in.
- Sunday Stitch; choose a Christian/inspirational piece and stitch on it on Sundays
- Daily 30; choose a project to make progress on a daily basis (30 minutes per day)
- MHM; Mill Hill Monday. A Mill Hill project every Monday
- Temperature Stitch; cross stitch record of the temperature/weather in my area
- Full Coverage Weekend; at this time I have about 4 full coverage pieces and I assigned 1 full coverage every three months. That way all of them will get some progress throughout the year.
- Mystery SAL; I only added this category because I currently am stitching on Maple Lane which is scheduled to be finished in February or March and I would like to finish that one.
- Stitch from Stash; I had mentioned that this activity was originally created by Msohsewcrafty and StitcherMel made some adjustments. I will join StitcherMel and my budget will be $25. More info can be found on StitcherMel’s blog which can be found on the list of the blogs I follow.
- No New Start; I originally wanted no new start in 2022. However, I have one project that I wanted to start in January to Celebrate a very special personal milestone in my life. I will be starting this piece sometime during the week of 1/24 – 1/30. Therefore, no new start starting in February 2021 through the end of the year.
