So I’m still trying to complete the crewel sampler project that I have been working on… oh for the last many months. I’m forcing myself to finish this before I start a new project. This is actually the practice before the sampler. However, I don’t seem to work on it very often and when I [...]

Dang I’m in a knitting funk. I’m hoping to find it this weekend. Ugh. I’m probably just feeling sulky because I am going to miss Rhinebeck tomorrow. Even though I have more than enough, I’m going to miss fondling all the nice fleeces. Over the years we have had had various cat and dog beds. One kitty who shall remain nameless would sometimes find herself in the position where she could not walk by one of said beds without marking it as her territory. So I’m packing up my knitting bag for tomorrow trying to decide what projects I should be taking. DH has to go to work early tomorrow, so I have to catch the early bus, which is just fine as the weather looks like it may be ugly. I just hope the storms hold [...] This weekend started off with a busy and stayed that way the whole time. First off Sears was having a sale and we really needed a new grill.

When I can push the button and it doesn’t light the first [...] So in the interest of giving my wrist a break, I picked up some embroidery to practice on. My friend Jackie gave me a set of these wonderful pillowcases and I thought what a great place to practice some stitches. So this is the first of let me just say many tea towels. This was way too much fun. This is the project I finished up and I’m very happy with the results. I ripped the tail out and used a bit darker tan. The cats are dark brown and tan. So ever since I saw Julie’s lovely tea towels, I knew I had to make these. Last night I put the pattern down on Sulky and found a too small hoop – must pick a large one of those up today – and then went to work. After I found a stitch [...] Ok, so I think I’m done now with these mitts. The plain mitts weren’t going to cut it – too plain, so I happened to get the the treads out and just did a stylized – no pattern design. I like the way they turned out. Much more interesting now.  |
