..... we will start with my Stitch Journal for the week, and playing with Fly stitch variations for a few days.
A bit of lace going on today but I might fill in that gap around the heart and semi circle as well.
I finished the first of my Trailblazer socks (Winwick Mum pattern) and am very happy with the pattern and colour. It helps that it uses the Winwick Mum basic sock pattern which I pretty much know off by heart now.
But mainly this week I have been focussed on my Chookshed Challenge - selvedge blocks. I now I have eight blocks complete - 4 more to go!
We did pop out one day and stopped at the church of St Etheldreda at St Audries.
After a browse round inside - this window glowed beautifully
and I loved these decorated organ pipes -
we couldn't decide if it was warmer out or in! Whichever, we decided against heading to the coast and headed home instead! At least the temperatures are set to increase next week.
Happy stitching
I love your socks. My favorite colors!
ReplyDeleteYour stitching journal is coming along beautifully and a lovely new pair of socks for that cold weather.... I do like how your selvage blocks are looking - now I am sorry I never collected up mine...

Thank you for introducing me to the Trailblazer Socks. My first sock is nearly done.
ReplyDeleteYour handwork is so beautiful Lin. Just love it all & your knitting. Those churches are so special. Hope you get some warm weather soon - wish I could send you some. xx
ReplyDeleteIt's on the days when it's as cold as this that we are reminded that it is genuinely warmer inside than out!
ReplyDeleteThe church is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing your stitching journal. Your work is lovely, and you have so much knowledge of different stitches. The selvedge string blocks are wonderful! I have always wanted to make one, but I finally threw out my selvedges. I just don't leave much color on the edges, and I seldom cut the selvedges off all in one shot. The pieces are just too short to use.
Oh those selvage blocks are just perfect. Can't wait to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteNice work on the socks. There is something very special about old churches.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on your challenge and I love your socks xx
ReplyDeleteDear Lin, I would love to work with you on your bag right away... I'm looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteThe sock is beautiful... as is the church window and the organ pipes.
A cheerful greeting comes to you.
I’ve never seen organ pipes like those. Wow, how beautiful, and the stained glass window too. ♥️ You’re so clever making socks, Lin!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous stained glass window. Loving your stitch journal. You've some beautiful stitching happening on it. Cool socks too xx
ReplyDeleteYour sock has turned out so well. The church would have been nice to explore.
ReplyDeleteYour hand stitching, Lin, is always exceptional! Your socks look nice and warm...be sure to wear short pants so everyone can see them (snicker). You know I love selvedges, so I'm looking forward to your make with those blocks.
