It seems the hook has been moving quite slowly. I only managed to finish 2 things this week. This is an older pattern by the Royal Society. I looked forever until I found it. This is made with DMC Cebelia thread, size 10. The color is a light mocha, #3033, I think it has become my favorite neutral color. You can find it in my Etsy shop....the link is right to your right...if you are so inclined. I carry all 26 colors offered just so you know.
The only thing I don't like about the pattern is weaving in all the loose threads at the end, but it is worth it.
I made this one in #20 thread. It is supposed to be one of those things for the backs of a chair, but I wanted to make something that would work on a shelf..I think this will work perfectly. This is also a vintage pattern and I found it in an old pattern book while on a search last week for a different pattern. For those of you who know me it shouldn't surprise you that I "find" things on a search for something else..My ADHD really kicks in..I do take a pill for that..
I have a plan this week to make something in purple or lilac..just haven't decided what. I am thinking a tabletopper of sorts. I am open to suggestions. It helps when someone else is telling me what to make because if I go into my room and start looking for something, I will be lost the entire day..
My show is less than 8 weeks away. I am starting to wonder and stress over the things I have..like if I have enough, the right colors, or patterns. My show always goes better than I expect it to, and I usually receive orders enough to keep me busy..but I still stress. I don't have many potholders, hardly any runners..and both go pretty well as do a few other things. Oh well..I just need to not be so anxious I guess.
I am hoping that I get just a little more completed this week. Anyway..thanks for taking the time to stop by and having a look. May you all be blessed and that you enjoy whatever you put your hand to this week.
Such pretty pineapples! I wanted to make my runner in that color, but I didn't have enough in my stash and I'm not sure of the brand I have so I started it in white. I am NOT using a #10 hook though! That is seriously small and annoying! Ha. We'll see how big mine turns out with a #6.
ReplyDeleteAwesome doily (as always). :)
ReplyDeleteI think you should do a runner in the purple thread. You need to add more runners for your show, so it's a win, win. :)
Blessings always dear Sista
Both doilies are beautiful - all of your thread works are always so nice.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Stitchy McFloss - a purple runner would be a great project to include in your show. :)
Both doilies are very beautiful!! :) I am sure you will create lots of things for your show. When you can make big doilies so fast, potholders must be just a few minutes job for you.
ReplyDeleteOh My,Stunning as always... Purple is my color,but I think lilac might work.
ReplyDeletethe doily is beautiful as always. All the best for your show.
ReplyDeleteI have one of these pineapple chair backs on my wing back chair. Never thought about using it on a shelf. Good luck with the show.
