Up and down and interlaced

Interlaced up and down buttonhole. Yes, these are the new stitches on my band.

Sharon published this new stitch with the number 128 click

One row of up-and-down buttonhole stitches, the other upside-down -

back to back and interlaced. In the second row I added some beads

 

This dotee doll changed a little and will live soon in another home -

it was looking more like an animal - so it underwent a face surgery

 

and it needed more embellsihment

The backside is funny really, looks like a kind of backpack.

There is always a surprise in a patterned fabric.

Remember this?

Well, this became a motive on the cover of our guestbook in France.

It is the gate to our renovation house there.

a few sketches - and then.....

I was looking half an hour for a previously - at least 10 years ago rusted fabric -

because the gate is 150 years old and badly rusted. I worked with "Wonder Under

I know there is another name but I don't remember it.

 

Funny skulpture - while cutting out

First layout - with a few leaves added.

Ironed down and outlined with black thread - which I like

The light is slowly changing.

I had to use a lamp

 

I will show the cover later - it is not sewn yet.

 

 

 

 

Knitting a log cabin version

To occupy my fingers in the evenings in front of TV I am knitting a blanket again. I am making separate blocks and will sew them together when I have enough and when I see how far my wool is running.

 

I have four different colours - they were sold together and ment for socks. I like all the colours. Knitting the center does not need much wool and so the different colours can't be seen well and create a totally different design. I started with the small purple square then added the striped light green one and I will go on like this not doing light and dark, just as I like it - I take care not to let meet the uni colours. Five colours would have been better. But I am "stranded" in the renovation house .....

where the entrance is looking like this.
