Welcome to the regular weekly practice of relaxing with some hand stitching! We encourage you to join us... all you have to do is take a deep breath, find your hand stitching project and put in some stitches.
And to top off the week perfectly, the Raptors lost their 7 game series on Friday night and it was an exciting game so I needed a little relaxation to stay calm. I distracted myself by starting one more dishcloth. This is a terrible photo but shows how the knitting helped me through the series. |

So now it's time for some relaxation and slow stitching and recovering from the stress of the week. Here is a special treat for those of you who enjoy hand beading - click here to read an article about the making of a beaded map of Canada and the US made by indigenous artists.
What are you hand stitching today? Link up your blog post below and share your project with us.

I love your dishcloth and yes of course I can see what it is so cute! :) x
That octopus washcloth is adorable. Okay, I may have to make one now. So sorry about that nail. I seem prone to picking them up in my tires so I understand your frustration. I hope this week is more relaxing.
Thats a nasty nail sticking up in the wood, so sorry to read about your mishap when you ran over it, would be a bit of a shock, I imagine.
Cute little octopus dish cloth, aren't you doing well!
Many thanks for running this Slow Sunday linky for us all to post about our handwork, I appreciate your time in doing this week after week.
That dishcloth is too cute to use! Love it and you did a great job on it. Sorry about the nail issues. Lets hope this week goes swimmingly for you!
I have had a nail in my tire too...sounds like a stressful day, for sure. Glad it all worked out ok and everyone got where they needed to be. Your baby washcloth is adorable. I am working on the starfish next. They are a bit addictive, aren’t they?!
what a day that must have been - I hate getting a flat. Cute washcloth!
The octopus dish cloth is super cute! Almost makes me want to wash dishes... almost...
Those kinds of car problems are always stressful and never convenient! Glad you figured out the cute octopus design - and in such a pretty color, too. Enjoy your slow Sunday, Kathy!
Hi Kathy, you did a great job with the dishcloth, I myself have to try to make some of them. Thanks to God nothing more serious happened, that nail could cause a terrible accident. Hope you have better days during this new week and happy slow stitching this Sunday.
That octopus is really cute. I have watched a beginning knitting class online, trying to get a bit better with it and learn how to do more than just knit and purl. I am indeed working on a wool applique, but it is for Autumn Jubilee so I can't share it yet.
Oh no, that's a not so nice way to start the week! I'm glad you were able to fix it and everything worked out okay. You deserve some slow stitching time today!! Enjoy it!!
Wow, cruising around quilter blogland, it seems everyone is under a lot of stress, what with wildfires burning down the west coast, hurricanes threatening the Gulf coast, online learning frustrating everyone and daily annoyances like running over nails. I guess I'll just be content with the deer demolishing everything in the yard except the weeds, which are taking over the gardens. It's raining here, so the weeds will have to wait while I continue quilting the long overdue baby quilt. I hope your upcoming week is better. Cute octopus.

Oh dear it does sound like a stressful week! Very cute washcloth
The wash cloth is so sweet and yes I can tell what it is. The Beaded Map projects is stunning thanks for the link. Happy Stitching.
Love those washcloths, and that beaded map is awesome!
My heart goes out to you after the week you've had! Wow! You are a natural knitter! Beautiful! Your link up is one of the highlights of my week! Thank you!
Sometimes doesn't it feel like nothing is going right. Looking back I am alwaysthankful that things could have been worse. Love the 🐙 how cute
I admire you forging ahead with your knitting. I can knit, but can’t fix my mistakes. And my girlfriend who could always rescue me moved far away.
What a cute octopus dish cloth. Sorry for the nail in the tire. Years ago I was on the highway when the truck in front of me lost a box of roofing nails. They took 18 nails out of my 6 month old tires (all 4 tires got nails). We took the next exit, and there was a Walmart (tiny town) and they were just opening their service bay doors.
