I talked about my Q3 projects in this post, but thought I would dedicate a separate space for what plans I set out for myself for Q4 of 2025 in terms of my crafting projects.

Knitting

In the last quarter of the year, I would like to get my Stornoway Sweater by Cheryl Mokhtari (Coco Amour Knitwear) completed. I started this project on 8 October this year. It should be a relatively quick knit as it is being knit up on 5mm needles (US 8)

I would also like to get a shawl started & finished for my Mum for either her Birthday or for Christmas. It seems unlikely that I will be able to get a shawl done in less than a month, especially considering it will be knit up in fingering weight yarn. At the time of writing, I plan on making the Raina Shawl by Andrea Mowry (Drea Renee Knits) as I love the look of this shawl. My hesitence comes from the brioche portions of the shawl as it has been a long, long time since I have done any brioche knitting. I just need to relearn that muscle memory a little first.

Crochet

In the last quarter of the year, I would like to make another Plant Coaster to use some of my remaining bulky scraps. The pattern I found on Ravelry is the Eco Plant Coaster by
Krystal Amador. (Eco Minded Stitches) I would also love to try to finish the 2 Granny Square Cushion covers I’m making. The pattern is by Kirsten Ballering. I am modifying the pattern slightly to make a removable cover with an envelope style opening.

Cross Stitch

In the last quarter of the year, I would like to make some progress on Spirit of Christmas by Lizzie Kate. I think this is my oldest cross stitch WIP. I started this in December 2017 when this was released as a 3-part mystery SAL (stitch-a-long)

Looking at the remaining WIPs I have, I would also like to finish Grandpa’s Pickup mini. This was part of the Farmhouse Christmas Series by Little House Needleworks.

Let’s see how I get on. What are your plans for the remainder of this year?
