IHSW or International Hermit and Stitch Weekend always starts on the third Friday of the month. It's a chance to lock yourself away and focus on your stitching for the weekend. You can take part on your blog or via the Facebook page - IHSW on Facebook.
For once, I'm not working on a Friday so was able to make a start today! I'm focusing on Little Snapdragon with the hope of finishing it this month.
I only have the flowers left now which are a mixture of blue and purple colours. So far I have stitched three shades of very dark blue:
stitched on 32 count Evening Sky Murano from Crafty Kitten
This evening I will continue with Turn, Turn, Turn working on the lovely Spring Tree:
stitched on 32 count Sea Spray linen
I'll also find some time to fit in a length or two on Cancer from Circle Cross' Zodiac series:
stitched on 28 count sky blue evenweave from Silkweavers
Finally, here's a new design from Circle Cross which I absolutely fell in love with as soon as I saw it:

Wonderful progress, Jo! I really do hope you can finish Little Snapdragon--those colors are so lovely! The last design would absolutely make my old eyes cross if I were to attempt it, but I look forward to your progress on it :)
ReplyDeleteGreetings Jo: So many different and beautiful designs in the works.
ReplyDeleteNice progress.
Catherine
As usual, great progress on it all!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that will be quite the project, perfect for you! Will you be adding colour to the fabric or thread, or leaving it as shown?
I'm behind on reading. Love your choices for focus.
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a beautiful detailed piece. Can't wait to watch it grow.
Snapdragon looks great! Another one where I'm curious to find out whether I missed the finish. And wow, that Norse mandala design!
