Frantic Embroidery
No, it's not the name of my new band, although it would be a really good one. Instead, it's today's itinerary, here at Mary Scott Huff Hand Knitter International Headquarters.
Woman Embroidering by Paul Gaugin
Embroidery is a lot of fun, particularly when done on knitted fabric, using cashmere and wool. I'm trying to ignore the panicky nature of the timeline I'm on: 12 days till the photo shoot for my book. At which, I'm guessing, they would like to have some KNITTING to photograph. Knitting that's finished, I'd bet, would be their preference.
So I'm going sub-level, for a bit, while I embrace my inner Victorian. My plan is to sit serenely in the parlour, cup of tea at my side, and embroider my ass off. And failing that, it'll be cross-legged on the floor somewhere, beer within reach. Either way, I'll see you cats on the other side.
Think finish-y thoughts for me - I'll report back soon.
We missed you last night! Looking forward to seeing the book..

Remember to tell the butler that you are "out" to any callers.

Better cross-legged on the floor with a beer than passed out on the floor with an empty bottle of very strong stuff! Embroidery is OK, as long as it isn't duplicate st. I'm sick of it!

Wishing you all the best Mary. I'd say 'I'll be thinking of you', but your deadline is giving me chest pains, and I have to put the whole Race To The Finish out of my mind, before I go...Out Of My Mind. Good luck, kid!

Can't wait to see what you are embellishing since I've been thinking a lot about embellishing some hand knit socks lately! What a lovely painting!
