WIPW - Start the Engine

It is time to start the engine again after a long rest at the end of last year. Here is the first Work In Progress Wednesday report for 2024.

Mandala

I have begun to add Colonial Knots in a fine metallic thread. I do this instead of adding beads - I want the glint and sparkle but I don't want the tricky beadwork just yet. Beads will eventually be added to the Mandala but at a later stage.

Sunday Stitch School Stitch Sampler

First I attached a piece of waste canvas and with the help of that grid I added the following stitches, from top left:

#159 Invented Stitch (Slashed) (pink), #214 Threaded Blanket Stitch (green and yellow), #121 Point á la Minute Stitch (green), #226 Badass Star Stitch (yellow) and #107 Tvistsöm (diagonal) (purple).

There is space for more stitches on the canvas, so check them out next Wednesday.
