Welcome to the weekly hand stitching party! It's time to put your feet up, relax, and put some stitches into your favourite project. Just breathe and stitch, even if just for a few moments.
I have been enjoying the cross stitch pattern called "Bird Herd" by Amity of Hathaway Stitchers. I am very proud of myself that I have become adept at using Pattern Keeper.
I have the first (of 4) adorable little 2" bird completed and have finished the right side of the design. I am stitching 1 thread of floss over 1 stitch on a 25 count "Countess Lugana" by Forbidden Fiber Co.
I also started knitting another dishcloth using my favourite Suds yarn. The pattern is called "large heart" and has taught me a new stitch called "SSK" which makes the lovely lacy holes in the border.
It's the long holiday weekend here, so I will be slow stitching by the lake today. Hope you are having a relaxing weekend and that you will share your slow progress with us in the links below.
The cross stitched bird is very cute. I like the lacy effect in the dishcloth. Happy stitcing!
ReplyDeleteYou truly have the prettiest spot in which to enjoy a little knitting and while away a sunny Sunday! Bird Herd is a sweet cross stitch. Those thread colours are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteBird Herd /Nerd is coming along nicely. I have not picked up my knitting for a while. I guess it’s hard to be motivated to knit a winter scarf when it’s so warm outside! You have a beautiful knitting spot with a view of the lake. Enjoy your long weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a great start on your Bird Herd. Enjoy the long holiday weekend, happy stitching.
ReplyDeleteThat bird is adorable! Looks like a fun project, Kathy. Enjoy your stitching by the lake today!
ReplyDeleteYour lake view looks perfect! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThat bird is cute. Do you use Pattern Keeper on a tablet? I have to look into that. Enjoy your knitting with that beautiful view.
ReplyDeletePerfect season for stitching birds and great weather for knitting by the lake! Enjoy. Maybe we can do a sunday stitching in the gazebo by the creek soon!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long while...but so glad to see this linky party still around! That looks like a very peaceful view for getting some stitching done!
ReplyDeleteLove the bird! Looks like a wonderful place to relax and stitch!
ReplyDeleteOh, I want to come and sit with you to enjoy that view while you stitch!
ReplyDeleteYour project is really pretty. Nerd?
