Friday Night Sew In has come around quickly again! and the end of September is in sight. Thank you to Wendy for organising our Friday night again this month.
As usual I started my afternoon with my Stitch Journal which is growing nicely.
Then went on to work on my Boro flower panel. I am filling in the gaps now and waiting for inspiration to strike regarding the top left hand corner - that ricrac seemed like a good idea at the time!
I cracked on with some knitting in the evening and this morning I finished the second Vintage Tinsel sock.
Again, sorry about the poor light!
We had some lovely weather earlier in the week and took the opportunity to visit Barrington Court. Always a lovely visit and something different to see each season. The borders were looking stunning and the White Garden full of lovely frothy white Cosmos.
I have also been distracted this week by some good reading! We found a new to us author and I have been whizzing through these books. If you like murder/detective stories then I can recommend these which are set in The Lake District.
I plan to spend what looks likely to be a wet afternoon, knitting some baby socks with the last of the Vintage Tinsel wool. Hope you are having a dryer day.
You just reminded me that I need to wind up some sock yarn for our upcoming trip. Your embroidery page is gorgeous. The dark colors really show well!
ReplyDeleteYour stitch journal this month reminds me of the pretty shells which can be found as I walk along the seashore. Nice work on the socks and I have made a note of that author.
ReplyDeleteAs always, I love your stitching. I had a look at Pintangle and her TAST. Wow!
ReplyDeleteYour boro panel is looking so wonderful Lin - I just love seeing it come to life. I love the name of those socks!! That author is not familiar to me but I shall tell my brother as he loves a good murder detective story. xx
ReplyDeletelove your yournal, what a magnificient garden you let us see, and trhe books looks interresting, try to find them.xx
ReplyDeleteBoro is coming along nicely. I'm sure that top corner will soon tell you what you want!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many wonderful gardens and houses to visit in England. You are spoilt for choice. =) The stitch journal is looking lovely and your Boro stitching is fabulous. You don't like the ric rac?? I'm sure you will make it fit in perfectly.
ReplyDeleteSo many of my friends, including YOU, are knitting socks. You are inspiring me to jump in...but I really don't have time...but I could maybe... ugh! Otherwise, the books sound interesting.
ReplyDeleteYour stitch journal is looking wonderful and that looks a wonderful garden to visit. I had many a happy day visiting gardens in Kent, many moons ago!! The books look interesting too, I will write down the authors name, thank you.
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching happening.... it is shocking to be near the end of September already! Lovely garden, I always love the look of lots of cosmos.... thanks for the books idea

Yesterday we had almost a summer day and today the sun shone almost all day, but autumn is in the air... Rainy days will come...
ReplyDeleteyour works are beautiful. The Boro flower field is so beautiful, I'm excited to see how it develops.
Thanks for the photos of Barrington Court. This holiday was my first time in England and I was, for example, in Glendurgan Garden... a dream for the senses.
Have fun with your needle and thread.
I wish you a happy weekend Lin.
Hi Lin. I am very behind in my blog reading. You have been doing lots of interesting projects with your dyeing in the previous post. Love your Boro flower panel and your stitch journal page is coming along well. What beautiful gardens. Thanks for the book recommendations will check them out xx
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have found the perfect activities for rainy weather. All of your projects are fascinating. I had never heard of dying with rust before. Love the gardens! It’s always interesting to compare what’s blooming in your part of the world compared to mine.
