Well some of us were stitching along together yesterday! Never mind Cheryll - we are happy to go again next week and if anyone wants to join in then you can sign up now here
First up for my Friday after a very pleasant day spent with family was my Stitch Journal. Having finished with January
I have moved onto the RSC colour of red for February.
Next up some knitting. I finished this first lacy sock and I do love how the colours have worked.
As I have some travelling to do next week my next job was to make a start on a Winwick Mum basic sock that will be easy to pick up while I am away. More West Yorkshire Spinners yarn, this one is called Swallow.
And that was my evening - looking forward to next Friday now.
And while I am here another green finish for January - a new Swedish peg bag as my old one had finally, after many years, given up and need to find the bin.
I made this one a little smaller and it is perfect for my needs.
So that is me all caught up. Have a great week everyone.
The different embroidery stitches are so lovely! Every February Crabapple Hill has a free embroidery project for International Embroidery month. Here is the link - https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/CrabappleDownloads/2024-StitchAlong-Pattern.pdf
ReplyDeleteI hope this works for you. Happy stitching!
Thank you for the link, Gretchen. Looks like fun and I love Crabapple Hill!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable peg bag, Lin. I think I'll have to make one for myself. Your January stitchery is absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait to see what you come up with for February! Always good to have a pair of socks on the needles for a trip. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI figure we get a bonus Friday. Your projects are great.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a new banner and some gorgeous stitching projects in the works.
ReplyDeleteENjoy!
Gosh I love that peg bag Lin - I had not heard of Swedish peg bags before - I shall look them up. I am enjoying seeing your journal pages come together & I love that Swallow yarn💚
ReplyDeleteIs your stitching journal based on some ideas given to you?? it is very creative. Its good that we are a self motivating group - and we can do FNWF any week!
ReplyDeleteWill be interesting to see if you join the Crabapple Hill thing - a few of my friends have...I am resisting.
What a cute peg bag.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea of a journal for the colours each month... January looks great. I have never heard of those Peg bags - a fresh one does cheer up the chore a bit.... lovely yarn... where are you off to?

Great post Lin, your stitchery pages are lovely, love the socks wool and the peg bag is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteA page of gorgeous green stitcheries. The red looks like it will be equally gorgeous. Very stylish peg bag.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous design the Swedish peg bag is. I love it! So many gorgeous embroidery stitches in the Stitch Journal and the colours of the threads are so pretty. Love those red threads, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is all looking good!
ReplyDeleteEverything you make is lovely, and quite unique, Lin. Love the yarn for your socks! And what an unusual peg bag - I really like it!
