Due to the motivation created by this wonderful blog, I have decided to pull this UFO out of my "UFO black hole" and add it to my weekly stitching projects. I saw this wonderful pattern in one of the many needlework catalogs I receive and due to my hockeymom status, I knew it was something that I had to stitch. So I ordered it last fall and worked on it for about 3 months, then it just got too tedious and I lost patience.
Title: Hockey Rivalry
Designer: D.R. Laird
Kit: Dimensions (contained cotton thread, blending filament, needle, instructions, and 16 ct aida - which I traded in for 32ct hand-dyed evenweave).
So, here I am, publicly announcing that I will finish this project before the end of the year!

I can't wait to see more progress on this one. I love hockey! :)
This is great, Lisa! An action scene--I love it. hmmm. I wonder if there are any like designs for baseball? Oh wait! This group if for finishing projects, not starting yet another. Darn!
I do hope you achieve your target. This blog is great for helping us to reduce our pile of "I'll get round to it later"
Ooh - nice chart - can't wait to see it unfold!
What a great piece. You've got a really good start. I can't wait to see the progress.
Hey there. This looks interesting. Part of my family are hockey players(only grass not ice). I know it's a slower game but just as exciting. Perhaps you'll have to do it in timed periods and allow yourself timeouts for coffee and cake. But don't get yourself in the 'Sin Bin'. It's amazing how this blog is helping to uncover long lost UFOs. It'll be great when you finish it. Happy stitching-looking forward to seeing your progress.
Ugh-Oh, you've gone "public" - now you're committed! :) Just kidding, this looks to be a fun piece - we'll help you reach your goal. Keep going!!!
