Hey Blog Buddies,
I got a bit of stitch time (and a bit of knit time) in this weekend, and I have one finish, and half of a finish to show you. First my stitchy finish:
I got a bit of stitch time (and a bit of knit time) in this weekend, and I have one finish, and half of a finish to show you. First my stitchy finish:
This is Lizzie*Kate's
A Bit of March, stitched on 40-count Heritage linen.
I attached only 2 of the 3 buttons provided.
As I was reaching for the third button,
I dropped it, and it just disappeared.
I don't think it fell into my chair,
but that's the only explanation that makes sense.
The buttons look a lot larger in my piece
than in the photo of the stitched piece.
That's the chance you take when you switch to
40-count from the recommended 28-count!
Next, a mitten update:
You can see that I've finished(!) one mitten,
except for the blocking.
I think this wants to be the right one,
although with this pattern,
you can wear either mitten on either hand.
Our final class will be embellishment ideas,
which should be fun.
I've started on the second mitten, too,
and hope to finish knitting (if not embellishing) it
by the end of this week.
I don't believe I'll ever be a fan of
knitting with 4 double-pointed needles!
I've even signed up for a class on continental knitting
(because I'm a thrower).
We'll see if you can teach an old dog new tricks.
That's it for this weekend.

Hope you had a fun, stitchy weekend.

Sweet stitching..
Love for you x
I SO know what you mean! I wish I had a dime for everytime I dropped something and the carpet just ate it!
Congrats on the finish!
Hello
Very sweet stitching, one day the lost button will turn up!
Lovely mitts too.
The worst is when you drop a needle and it just disappears lol. Cute finish! I love the colour of your mittens. :)
Beautiful mitten,well for. Love the little march design, what a perfect frame for it.
The stitching looks so cute, and I love the colour of the mitten :) Looks so warm
Cute little March finish Pat! The mitten looks great! Now for the next one :D
Congrats on both finsihes. I love the fabric you used for March. Great color for the mitten.

Whoot! on the mitten. It does look like a righty. Love your March stitching too.
I love LK too! And the mitten is very practical:).
I love your March!! Very cute. Sorry to hear about the button - I'm afraid to look under my own couch for what is lurking there.
Well, didn't you have fun this weekend! Your Bit of March looks grand (and I think there is a black hole where your button went, it must be adjacent to where socks go from the dryer), and so does your first mitten of the pair!
I really admire Lizzie Kate's designs - whimsical & cute, at the same time! And you've finished it! Wow - so cute! Thanks a lot for visiting my blog!
Congrats on your finish! It is adorable, and I am so sorry to hear about the lost button!
Nice finish. Very pretty.
Thanks for visiting my blog. :)
