Re: Talking of socks
My son would never have a matching pair if he just folded them. Although, come to think of it, his socks are either black or white... so perhaps pairing isn't that important...

Re: Talking of socks
The difference with your sock stash, of course, is that you actually use it. I rearrange my wool stash, and occasionally pet the silk stuff, but actually use it? Heresy!

Re: Jo's Stitching 2024
Agree with Mabel. This is a complicated design by the mistress of complicated designs. Slower perhaps, but well worth it.

Re: Quilting?
No wonder crazy quilting is very popular! I guess I never realised the precision needed for these named quilt designs, like Flying Geese or (my favourite name) Burgoyne Surrounded. Good luck!

Re: Talking of socks
How wonderful are these?!? A very good reason to knit. I follow a group on Ravelry to do with a particular hand-dyer of wool, and the members make incredible socks (among other things; shawls are a favourite). It's a real skill.

Re: Serindë's Stitching adventure 2024 17 May
I thought so, but I'm always happy to have a second opinion. I am now over a quarter of the year done -- indeed, over a third -- am I can't say each day comes naturally to me yet! I often think I should take my time, except that I already stitch slowly. Let's just say I'm probably overcomplicating t...

Re: Serindë's Stitching adventure 2024 11 May
Yes, I did couch it down --- not particularly well, it must be said, and I may try to sneak a few more "aurora" threads in where it's a bit thin. But it did the job. (Is brighter in real life: the colour is Caron threads "Aurora", spookily enough.) https://i.postimg.cc/Yqp15BC7/t...

Re: 2024 Stash & Grab Virtual Pub
I try to limit my stitch posting to once a week because no one else seems to be cross stitching anything. We seem to have lost Wendy when the forum crashed, I saw Nicola commented on a post the other day but no stitching updates and of course it is ages since we heard from Lyudmilla or Sally. I've ...

Re: 2024 Stash & Grab Virtual Pub
Not as much as I'd like to :-( - partly for very pleasant reasons like outings and a cousin visiting from the Netherlands, partly work and other commitments, but it means I have done no Certificate homework at all, and FoF is sadly neglected. Also, my eye problems are getting worse, which is worryi...

Re: 2024 Stash & Grab Virtual Pub
Thought I'd come in a dust, polish some glasses, tidy up the broken crockery destress suite. It's been very quiet on the forum lately. How's everyone doing? I'm now set up to start a small weaving for my summer course and then there's the garden. But I'm still beavering away at my daily stitch (thou...

Re: Serinde lives up to her name update 30 Apr 2024
And because I am doing this online course, in preparation, I decided to divide all my tapestry wools into one of 24 colour categories and store them that way. Easier to find different colour palettes. (I purchased this useful thing years ago: https://www.handweavers.co.uk/ultimate-3in1-color-tool-jo...

Re: 2024 Deliveries & Stash Acquisition
I remember my first few meetings with my present Guild, and feeling like I didn't really want a lecture on a Saturday morning. But each session's programme is different. Ours is now a better balance of hands-on and talks, especially because tech allows us to tap into interesting professionals whom w...
