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.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I had to take a LONG break from stitching and from blogging, for that matter. The workload was just too great.

Now I am looking forward to a LONG (three days!) holiday and plenty of stitching time!

2024 is the year of the DRAGON and this one wishes you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR.

A Little Break

Time has been in short supply recently. Because of this, I have not completed last week's Sunday Stitch School homework (#274 L-Stitch). Nor will I have time to introduce a new stitch today.

I will have to take a little break until things are sorted out.
