Theme-a-licious Amazon April Check-in

It's time for us to check in with our progress for Amazon April! I must tell you that coming off of March Madness, it feels like I haven't done that much! Especially since I started working on Les Rubans, and ribbon #2 is very labor-intensive. What's so sad is I know some of the others are even MORE labor-intensive than this one! I did manage to finish one section of the ribbon:

Here are a few more shots so you can see how dimensional those crescent stitches are...

And the whole thing as it stands now.

*sigh* Only two more sections of this ribbon to go! I will be very happy to go back to a linen project. Stitching the final crescent was NOT fun. I had to do some major digging to find the proper holes, I miscounted at least a dozen times, and pushing the needle through the canvas makes my finger sore after a while. (I know, I know, I should use a thimble, but I never learned to stitch with one, so I'm afraid it would slow me down terribly.) But it *is* going to be gorgeous once it's done!

I also continued to plod along on my Origami Turtle cardigan. Here's about half of a sleeve:
