I've heard that Melanie got the needle case that I made her as part of the Melanie's exchange on the SBEBB. I had received a skein of weeks dye works thread and two pansy buttons. I added some leftover princess perle thread in the shade Highland garden and it all turned into the pictures below.
I had a really hard time thinking of a design to use so I improvised the design as I went along.
On other stitching progress, I've started and finished two small projects - Baa, Baa little sheep and Be warm, which are both Shepherds bush designs. I have a bit of a stash of Shepherds bush projects waiting to be stitched so I thought I'd better stitch a few of them before I go to the retreat in September
In other craft news, my sock knitting obsession is showing no signs of ending
The more observant amongst you may notice that there are only single socks. I'm attempting a sock knitting rotation of sorts. The idea is to try and prevent the boredom that causes second sock syndrome. Whether this will work is not certain. I have cast on and started knitting the second tiger and purple socks.
