I’m happy to join Kat and the Unravelers today with some more duplicate stitching, a completed dishcloth, and a start on another one.
I've finished the raccoon, complete with his eyes, and the deer now has eyes, a nose, and outlined ears. Up next is a barn owl. I've only completed the counting and placement of the first stitch, but I think I'll enjoy stitching this one. It has large areas of the same color, which means I have less chance of misplacing stitches.
A photo of a dishcloth isn't terribly exciting, but knitting keeps me from going crazy when I'm not duplicate stitching. I'm not sure who I'm making dishcloths for, but they will suffice until my rainbow yarn arrives from Must Stash.
What are you making at the end of May?
your duplicate stitching is perfection! I wish I had those skills. I especially love the little raccoon because we have one that lives in our back woods, a pesky little critter.
ReplyDeleteBonny! The deer and raccoon are amazing! Beautiful! I am nodding with Karen's thoughts on wishing I had those skills! (And having a dishcloth on the go is a wise idea!)
ReplyDeleteThe hat looks perfect, Bonny. I am amazed at the detail of your duplicate stitching. I am sure it can be tedious, but it is fabulous. I finished Calamity Club and must delve into my stack to decide what is next. CC was just the right book for me during this nationwide dumpster fire. I have also adopted a new little dog. I wasn't planning on doing that since I still really miss Boomer, but this dog was dumped at the Emergency Animal Hospital and had to have his eye removed and some other injuries fixed. He followed me around and gave me that soulful look, and I just couldn't leave him at the rescue place. Yes, I am a sucker. LOL
ReplyDeleteYour duplicate stitching looks great.
ReplyDeleteI love that raccoon!!! As I commented on Sarah's blog, I have not read, stitched or knit in a week. Yikes!!! Life got busy...
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed by your duplicate stitching skills! I have done a little bit of it but never in multiple colors, so I admire your fortitude! And a dishcloth may not be exciting but it's immensely useful!
ReplyDeleteThe hat is looking fantastic!! I think dishcloths are perfect summertime/waiting-for-more-yarn knitting! They'll get used eventually.
ReplyDeleteI bow down at your duplicate stitching prowess, Bonny! You have Mad Skilz!!! And dishcloths are a perfect little knitting "snack" when you just need a little . . . something-something.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have mad duplicate stitching skills and I'm impressed! Dishcloths are so fun and they do make great gifts, too.
ReplyDeleteI am in awe! They look real enough to jump off the hat.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
