Knitting Update – A Finish

March 5, 2013 Nikki
Mariposa Shawl

I finished my first shawl!  It was a lot quicker than I expected but it didn’t really take me long to get back into remembering stitches.  The body of the shawl was really quick as I only worked on it […]

The Other Side Of the Bump

Mini Lost In You 27th February

I like counting my sewings in terms of pages done and pages left to do.  It isn’t precise because the last row of pages are usually partial pages but it’s quicker and more visual to see how much you have […]

Back to Stitching

Snow Girl 18th Feb

One of those pages where it felt like it took way longer to stitch than it actually did, especially considering I’ve been spending some of my time with my knitting needles rather than my sewing needles.  Page 4 is finally […]

Socks Finished

First pair of finished socks

No stitching update this week, there was so little stitching time that I don’t really have any progress on Snow Girl to show.  It’s down to a mix of things mostly time related and when I did sit down to […]

Catching up with Whispers

Whispers 20th Jan

It’s been a few months since I’ve done any stitching on Whispers.  I had a run of pages last year and then got distracted by Couch Dragon so it was nice to get her back on the frame and get […]

Computer Catastrophes 11th Jan

Page 11 of Computer Catastrophes is finished and that glass is finished too.  It’s been one of those pages that feels like it’s taken ages even though it was only 11 days.  My favourite bit on this page has to […]

Hello 2013

Mini Lost In You 31st December

Another year goes by and quite appropriately ends with a page finish roughly before midnight.  Page 5 and the faces of Mini Lost In You are finished.  It was a good moment when the girl’s face was stitched and the […]
