Excitement

I have finally finished a cross stitch kit I got time ago. It is small but speacial so I have been saving the moment to finish it. I was afraid of I will loose the feeling of a beautiful gift. But now when it is finished I realized I still can ejoy about it a lot. See the Stitching site to find out the design of scissor keep.

It is called Victorian Strawberries. It is designed by Anne Orr for Textile Heritage Collection. I got the kit time ago but have stitched it slowly and enjoying of making something special for myself. The scissors that have honour to hold this keep are the ones I got as my first ever Mother's Day gift. So, it all includes a lot emotional value

PS. I have ordered some special fabric from aboard to make one special cross stitch design. It's again huge work that you can compaire to the polar bear I just made. We'll see when that will be finished.

It's finally here

I have an honour to tell you my own design polar bear has finally arrived. See it tamed and finished. It really was a huge job to do. I learnt I should not mess around with such a great animal.

Frost, snow and knitting

So has the year begun and the world is covered by the snow all over the Europe. Many people have been sitting and knitting with purpose to keep someone warm, stay warm or just to avoid the snow work outside. Around here there has been lack of the mittens so January and February have been up to knitting mittens -mostly. Take a look at Knitting site to see some of the result.

Both mittens are my own design. They're knitted from loose end yarn. I knit both (left & right hand) at the same time as the socks. If mittens themselves are not warm enough wear leather gloves under them or leather mittens over them. In that way also the wind stays away.

PS. Sales are at the shops so I must confess I have been at Xmas shopping already. :) All storaged well and hide even from myself. When November will arrive I have forgotten them by that.
