 I know I just made my 2025 goals but my current monthly stitching goals are going to kill my stitchy bug.  So, at least for now, I need to amend them.

The 2025 HAED SAL is the culprit.  I've put it away for now.  At this point, I'm hoping for at least half a page per month which will result in the 6 pages in order to receive the other SAL charts.  Unless something changes, I won't be pushing any harder than that.

Loneliness of Autumn will remain my 2025 finish goal since it's my second oldest WIP.  I would focus on Loara Standish but she's a challenge and will just remain with 500 monthly stitches.

Warrior Alice is the other WIP that is going to get a big change, at least for now.  In order to finish her this year, I would need to add almost 6200 tent stitches every month.  I think instead, she's going to become a 2026 finish and she'll get 2000 full x stitches every month.  That will reduce the number of 2026 stitches to about 50000 tent stitches or about 4200 per month which is much more reasonable and the chances of being able to at least touch all my WIPs again this year are much higher.  I have a lot of WIPs and if I can add at least 500 stitches, I feel better about not touching them more frequently.

Loneliness of Autumn is out now and while I haven't added a bunch of stitches yet this month, I'm feeling a lot better about my stitching.
