First is one that Debby was so kind to send me the chart of, Dimensions Penguin--I used Victorian Motto threads to substitute and left off the lettering in the scarf--stitched it up on a hand dyed 18 count aida with silver accents--love how it turned out!!




I am now stitching Lanarte Owl from a kit--subbed out the 27 ct white evenweave for a 32 count hand dyed linen I had in my stash

Here is what the finished design will look like



And here is my progress after a little over a week stitching

Absolutely stunning work I love this owl and the little penguin is so cute! Can't wait to see more!

(P.S. Look at the wish list thread!) xxx

Yes your progress on the owl is already stunning and that penguin is just too cute!

I LOVE the little penguin, so colourful and the fabric sets it beautifully.

You already made good progress on the owl. Looking forward to seeing more.

That little penguin is gorgeous and he fits beautifully on that fabric. Love the owl design and you've done loads already

That Owl's Eye is almost hypnotising!! Normally big eyed designs aren't my favourite, but this one is Stunning!!

Love that wee penguin too!

the penguin. Fabric is great for this one.

The owl is just sooo gorgeous, look forward to seeing it again soon. A wonderful thing to stitch

I'm glad you liked the little penguin. He's a cutie! And your owl - wowza!!!

Your penguin is so cute you have stitched it beautifully and I adore your owl. I have that kit myself but haven’t got round to stitching it yet. Can’t wait for your next update

Wonderful pictures.

Brilliant dramatic piece

Your penguin is so detailed and your owl too, both marvellous and beautifully stitched

Love both of them Karen.

Love the penguin and that owl is gorgeous.

What a piercing eye! And the little penguin is adorable on that sparkly background

I took a couple of weeks off of stitching on the owl, due to wanting to crochet up a small afghan so I could use up some of my numerous odds and ends of skeins of yarn--glad I did--while it isn't the most elegant design I am happy and it will be nice to have on hand. First, here is the update on the owl, not a lot of progress but some


and here is what my afghan looks like--well half anyway--as I couldn't get a good photo showing it's entirety--measures about 36 by 48 inches

The owl is so gorgeous, really lifelike. Well done on doing some more of it

The blanket is colourful & a good way to use up odds & ends.

2 really fantastic and colourful projects... that Owl he/she is magnificent and that crochet afghan is going to keep someone really warm and snug.

I agree completely! If you want more leftover yarn I have plenty (guess its still good) from my long ago crocheting days.
