I finished stitching my Winter Angel.
Now I just have to determine how I want to finish it. I am considering making it into a banner. I am also designing angels for the other seasons. I will eventually post the chart for this.
Thank you Steph for the button-band tip and Karen Sue for the info on my mystery needles. Too bad I didn't inherit the patterns for the needles also.
I have managed to sew the shoulder seams and one pocket. I'm a perfectionist so both took some time.
I have cast-on a hat for hubby.
It is the Wasatch Backcountry Hat that I made for my son. I am using the same yarn but I will need to make it about a half inch deeper.
Joining Ginny for Yarn Along. What are you knitting/crocheting? What are you reading? Pop on over to her site to see what others are doing.
I am currently reading Starting Now: A Blossom Street Novel by Debbie Macomber on my Kindle.......a Christmas gift from my BIL.
I borrowed this book from my library's digital catalog. I have been waiting to read this latest Blossom Street Novel. I have greatly enjoyed this series. Debbie Macomber really engages you in the lives of all of her characters and weaves quite a story.
I have also downloaded a few books from the available Kindle books. I am learning to use the gadget.
Thanks for stopping by.
I love the angel and just had to stop by another Cathie!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Glad you stopped by.
Deletehe is going to love that hat! I do :) I'm trying to have an accessory on the needles at all times, like hats or socks, right now socks is winning.
ReplyDeleteI have got to try socks.
DeleteYour angel is lovely, so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteI admire your patience with seaming, I try to only make seamless knits because I dislike it so much
Thank you.
Deletesweater is coming together nicely!!!! (sort of like eating an elephant, though, isn't it? all those pieces!!!)
ReplyDeleteI was hesitant when I started because of all the pieces but I am almost there.
DeleteI can't decide which I like more the angel or the blue hat. I love color of the hat.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping my blog.
Luisa, I didn't realize how blue the hat looked in the photo, it is actually slate grey.
DeleteI love your angel Cathie! I love how cross stitch is coming back. I wish me eyesight was as good as it was 20 years ago when I did it! I think I have some of the Blossom Street books on my shelf. My hubby bought them for me but I have not had a chance to read them.
ReplyDeleteEven with an Ott lite, I can only cross-stitch during the day. I knit and crochet at night.
Deleteooooo....lots of good stuff going on here: stitching, knitting and reading. Keep up the fun Cathie!
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteYour angel finish is lovely and your knitting looks great - very cosy!
I'm a Debbie Macomber fan too but haven't read this one.
Have a good week.
What a cute angel! I love the snowflakes. You are so talented to design your own chart! Thank you for visiting my blog but you have noreply-comment so I couldn't reply by email. I'm a new follower!
ReplyDeleteI think I have fixed the no reply.
