Yes, the end of the month already and so of course my Stitch Journal page is complete. It's always an exciting moment when I turn the page over after pressing, and see all my stitching without the blue lines. Another page that I love and all in black and grey.
A couple of other finishes to share today as well. First my Boro Flower Panel which is now waiting for me to devise a method of framing!!
In case you missed my first post about this panel, all the recycled fabrics and threads were solar dyed when we lived in France. I used leaves and flowers from around the garden as well as coffee grounds, onion skins and black bean soaking water. So for me it contains lots of happy memories of our garden and life in France.
I also finished this little pair of baby socks using the leftover Vintage Tinsel yarn that I used for my own socks.
Many thanks to Kate from Arts & Socks for her pattern advice - https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/baby-socks-23 for the socks, with her own addition of the twisted cuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y2epfNAYoM. I think the twisted cuff is a great addition especially in the two colours. Thanks Kate.
So, a new month and a new RSC colour - I am using brown which I have been looking forward to! It also means Friday Night with Friends and I look forward to seeing you there.
I love your embroideries :-) The tiny socks are also very cute!
ReplyDeleteBravo on another wonderful page of stitches. The third down on the right almost looks like a nautilus. Love it. And the fourth down on the left makes me think of a necklace, a bracelet and a ring (okay, okay, the ring is way too big, but just pretend). In the same row, the one in the middle (like beige/brown) looks like a shell. So beautiful, all of them. But the show stopper is the flower panel. Gorgeous! It looks like my backyard in November. Awesome! ;^)
ReplyDeleteYour socks turned out beautifully. Baby socks are a great way to use up the sock yarn leftovers.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, your stitch journal is fascinating.
The socks are very cute Lin. Love your stitched page and Boro project
ReplyDeleteLove your journal, and your Boro project, xx
ReplyDeleteYes, a lovely page. And your Boro is delightful. Maybe your framer could float mount it on a piece of amber or rusty board?
ReplyDeleteYour stitching panel is gorgeous and I love your special Boro stitched garden and all the meaning to it...
