Very simple pattern

That's what I started with scraps

to occupy my hands while talking with family - friends or

watching TV -

Joining by hand is so calming - it will take much time

but there is no deadline

Mila (10) learnt how to make the friendship bracelet knots

I - the grandmother - started the one below - it is a bit

more complicated. I am often using the blunt needle to

unpick wrong knots.

Our town Karlsruhe is constructing the sub-tramway

It looks like that. Nevertheless the 300th birthday-

celebrations are going on.

The hanging house with its roots down from the bottom (I showed

it in the last post) is being placed on a metal construction during night.

A guy is watching over it all day long and manipulating the house

by crane, turning it into different positions.

No accident below with the Volkswagen VW but ...

an installation.

And Karlsruhe the castle by night with the crowd of people

without us.

 

 

Tast 134 - Fern Stitch

Wonderful - Tuesday arrives and with all regularity a new

stitch of Sharon: It is the fern stitch - no. 134

First row in green - straight and counted

In the second row I tried a movement and overstitched

it with orange.

Fern stitch in three colors

This is stitched on my band sampler. But from now on I will also

follow Mary Corbets advice and try out all my stitches

on a piece of fabric - 25 x 25 cm - the Tast stitches I get from

Sharon or others which I find on blogs.

Mary Corbet has fantastic stitches, too.

It will be a great mixture of colors - I love colors.

 

Fern stitch and a bit of the triple chain

 

I can use this piece of free embroidered fabric as a bookcover -

a pillow case - or fit it into a wall-hanging, or or or ... store it

...in one of my drawers!

They did a lot of painting and roof repairing

those last months. And guilding of the balconies.

It is looking beautiful and

it holds a museum.
