Missed posting in the Slow Sunday Stitching link up last week. There's not been a lot of crafting the last couple of weeks. Work has been busy, and what free time I have had is being spent in the garden.
I did get the last of the main Lucy Boston "Patchwork of the Crosses" blocks finished.
And I have a confession. I succumbed to the Blackbird SAL temptation last weekend. But at least I did so modestly. This is "First Offering", a free chart. It's 72 x 126, so not very big. I'm doing it on 40 count linen, one strand over two threads in NPI silk thread. Since I'll only work on it one or two days a month (first weekend), I'll ignore it for rotation purposes.
The only other thing I accomplished is to get to the next corner (Round 8, Corner #3) on the sock yarn blanket. I'll work on that today after church. I have to knit today in honor of my mom, who taught me to knit before I was in Kindergarten. Miss you, mom.
(My sister on the left, me in the middle and our mom c 2006. Mom's hair was red before she went platinum grey. I take after dad with the straight dark hair, though mine was a dark auburn until I was in my forties.)
Linking up with the SSS crew (link to current roundup).
I think that's a lovely way to honor your mom! Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteLovely projects, and great picture of your sister and mom and you! Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeletethankful for all the great moms that we all had!
ReplyDeleteLove your projects. I like the fabrics in the patchwork of crosses block. I think it is great that your mom taught you to knit at such a young age. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteMy sweet mum taught me to knit, too. A beautiful photo of you and your sister with your mum. Dark auburn...such a pretty hair colour. Your Patches of the Crosses block is lovely. Enjoy your day knitting and thinking upon all those beautiful memories that swirl around you and your mum.
ReplyDeleteI like that sentiment, knitting in honour of your Mother. Such a lovely family photo you shared with us.
