Work in Progress Wednesdays - 24 February 2021

Beginning with the cutting and removing of the threads. I know a lot of stitchers find the very idea of this part quite unnerving, but I'm OK with it. You just have to bear in mind the traditional carpenters' saying: 'Measure twice, cut once'. In this case, count twice, cut once. It really helps to avoid mistakes if you double check at every stage of a counted thread project - especially when it comes to things that would be hard to hide, like taking out one thread too many! It's possible, but I don't recommend it. ;)

2018 Needlecrafts Review
I can't remember who got this card with the ribbon work in, but it was a kit from Crafty Ribbons. It was quite hard work to stitch and I had to pad the backing in order to make it an even finish (the ribbons bunched up behind somewhat), but I thought it came out well. I have a red one somewhere. Poppies, I think....
Above is a Brett Marble Chunky cable knit I sized up from a girls' pattern and wear myself. It's all acrylic, so it's good for mid-seasons rather than winter.
