I'm a rather slow knitter, I average one pair of socks per winter but I have finished this winter's pair.
I've decided to cut up the 20" square mono prints that were in my last post. I have nine more the same size, so some of those will be cut up also. It will probably be a few weeks until I can start working on them so they've been put away so I'm not tempted. I found some mono prints on cotton that had been done about the same time. I had already cut out parts of them but had enough left to cut out sixteen 3 1/2" squares, have sewn them together and will do hand stitching in black on them for my SAQA auction piece.
Daily stitching #353 - #358, plus a close up.
#60 - #65 plus close up
Week #10 plus close up
I've also finished the quilting on the queen size quilt and now have to sew the five sections together.

You've been busy. Love the socks and all that hand stitching.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your colour combos! The stitching looks terrific
ReplyDeleteThank you both.
DeleteSweet socks! That's a sentence I never thought I'd write. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa, and they are until I wear them.
DeleteGreat ideas for those monoprints. I have a few in my stash that I may take another look at. Can't imagine how you come up with so many hand stitches. You are amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Judy. Most of my stitches are very basic, I vary the thread size and most of the time don't make my stitches very perfect.
DeleteHi, Linda. There's nothing like handmade socks in beautiful yarn--they're priceless, especially since they usually last forever. Anyway, as usual I'm delighted by your daily stitching and I LUV your monoprint project.
ReplyDeletebest, nadia
