Continue reading →: Knitting!!
Yes, it deserves two exclamation marks. It's been a while! These are the 1909 Ladies' Mitts I spoke of a few weeks ago, in the same yarn as the model — Cascade Heritage Silk — but in a different color, this one being 5730 Heather Rose. I started the mitts…

I found a puzzle yesterday at the swap meet. I picked up this charming family group photograph, and turned it over to find this: which is in Swedish. An antique family photograph with all of the names written on it! That's unusual enough in itself, but of course I also…

Continue reading →: Sampler Short List
Since my camera is still hors de combat, I will instead share my short list of charts-awaiting-stitching. This is not, mind you, all of the charts I have, as I've managed to collect any number of free charts in the three-ish years that I've been interested in samplers — and…

Continue reading →: Technical Issues, and The Lady Floral Brittany Sampler
So this has been finished for a while — erm, quite a while — but my camera has been having some problems, slowly worsening, and so the other day, well into another two sampler projects, I thought, "ack, I'll just take photos with my phone!" So I dug out my…

Oh, it’s been so long since I’ve knitted that I completely forgot to participate in my own virtual knitalong! Here, then — better late than never — is my newest contribution to “Knitting with D.E. Stevenson,” for my recent re-read of Fletchers End. The book was published in 1962, and…

I had a sinking feeling as I began to work this over with the new colors, that I'd miscounted the first time. Of course when I picked it up again the other day, I started with the next dividing band under the little filip on the end of the ribbonwork,…

Continue reading →: “Floral” Ho!Despite having a modest-but-tantalizing list of new sampler charts at my elbow, I dug out my poor half-worked "Floral Sampler" the other day, and my bundle of potential thread substitutions, and began the onerous task of picking it all out a band at a time, from the ribbonwork that seemed…

Continue reading →: “The Pink Sparrow”
I took this photo the other day to write a progress post, and I turned around and the thing was done! It is, of course, the "Pink Sparrow Sampler" by Brenda Gervais of With Thy Needle & Thread. I substituted "Gingersnap" for "Burnt Orange" before I'd even started, as it…

The downside — one of the downsides, I guess — to not blogging for a while is that you end up with a half-dozen or so posts coming down the pike, and you wonder, should I post them one-by-one or all at once?! And of course you forget things, or…

Continue reading →: “Philadelphia Vine, 1755”
The "Philadelphia Vine, 1755" sampler from The Scarlett House. I fell head over heels for this the moment I saw it. The colors! the silks with each other, and the silks on the grey-brown linen! the neatly-turned corners! Oh my. Being more than a little late to the reproduction-samplers party,…
