Showing posts with the label black stallion

Page finish

Quick little post to show my page finish. Still nothing really to show on this piece other than a really nice gradient. Back to some ornaments.

More ornaments

So finished up a few more ornaments this week. Switched to a bigger project since I'm off this week. Went to my rotation and got this one out. Fun fact, page 2 contains the halfway mark for the width. Haven't made it that far for a HAED before. And more stash. This came in three packages, all left from Chicago at the same time. One arrived last Thursday. One got diverted to Albany somehow and arrived Saturday. And the third took a detour through North Carolina. Given the state of the bag, it may have gotten caught on something else, thus the road trip. I have patterns picked out for some of these, others are still up in the air. Pattern suggestions welcome. The pink, red/black, and black/pink/gray have a metallic thread running through them.

Kitty!

Started a shaped afghan. I need to outline one of the legs, sew both down, then make the eyes, nose, heart, bow, and tail and sew those to it along with mouth a whiskers. Oh and here's the finished page of Black Stallion.

Still purple

Cameras hate the color for some reason. It never shows up right. 83/98 rows complete. The entire first row is going to look like this. I think you can kind of tell there are 4 main colors on this page. 155 and 340 are so close together I had to be careful when working on the rows where they overlapped. No new stash this week. I was good. So I leave you with Clyde.

Finish and purple

So I finished the shawl with minimal visits from the frog. Still needs blocking. And so I started on The Black Stallion. I had only 17 rows done on the page, now I'm at 40. With the exception of 3 stitches, it's all 2 colors. I also caved to HAED's sale. The first one is now retired and I bought the hard copy. Just in case I ever decide I really don't ever want to stitch it.
