There has been a lot of Little house needlework designs being stitched around stitching blogland lately so inspired by that, I've finished up one that I started earlier in the year.
Pumpkins stitched on 32ct lambswool linen. I plan to finish it into a pinkeep.
I've also stitched and finished a little kit given to me by Simone as part of the Here's to ewe SBEBB exchange. Its a dutch kit which came with all the bits to finish it as well but all the instructions were in Dutch too so I guessed when doing the finishing. I used the kit picture as a guideline.
I also managed to finish the first sock of another pair of monkey socks. They are knitted in Shelridge farm soft touch ultra like one of my previous pairs. It is so very soft but without being too fluffy and the stitches are very well defined in it.
This weekend, I'm off on my travels. Myself and 15 other stitchers are headed for a weekend away in some farm cottages. There will be lots of stitching, knitting, eating and drinking plus some shopping hopefully and a dyeing class by Kate of Sparklies fabric. We had a similar retreat last year which was lots of fun so I'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully when I return on Monday, I will have lots of lovely stitchy progress to share.

Have a wonderful stitching weekend!
Cute LHN stitching! I love the little sheep bag; you did a great job with unreadable instructions!
Have a great time on your stitchy weekend!
Enjoy the weekend of stitching. Also, I love the socks! I bought a leaflet to teach myself how to knit socks whilst I was on vacation. Once life settles back to routine, I will start knitting.
Sounds like a great weekend. Have fun!
Your Pumpkins come out great. Congrats on the finish. Enjoy your stitching retreat, CJ
Love the new look. Have fun on your retreat and great finishes.
Love the socks! I'm doing the LHN fruits one-over-one, but I like how they look over two,also! Have fun on your retreat - I'm envious.
You have some great finishes there Paula. I am always amazed at how quick you manage to knit up a pair (or two or three!) of socks.
Have fun at your stitching retreat! It really sounds like a lot of fun!
Your new blog template looks lovely, and of course, I love your LHN finish!
What a cute bag!
Those LHN's are great, and I especially like the pumpkin one. Nice job! You're bag turned out great, too. And the socks, as always, are terrific. Almost makes me want to try knitting a pair myself. Almost. LOL I can knit a flat piece just fine, but I'm not sure my skills are up to the challenge of socks.
