Hasn't been a lot to write about lately. Sorry about that. I finally got to take some pictures during day time, though. I am trying out something new - for a christmas gift.
I got some linen, flax. It is quite unevenly woven, so difficult to embroider on.
So I got some of what they call 'counting linen', basted it on the background linen and embroider on that one.
And then I pull out the threads from the counting linene, and
voila! It actually works:) I will put up a picture of the final work after christmas:)
We had a short burst of winter a few weeks ago, and I finally got around to finish a sweater I started last winter. I just had to sew it together and knit the neck lining.
I like the way the pattern makes the decreases a part of the shaping.
And finally - a little close up of a christmas gift:) More later.
