I've done a bit of stitching over the last couple of weekends:
Finally started the filling stitch for my peacock. I'm not super thrilled? The piece was designed for 30-count linen, but what I had was 28. While it makes a lovely grid, it means I have to make a lot of passes with the pearl cotton to fill each square. It doesn't look so bad in the picture, but in person it looks a little....stringy to me. Meh.
I'm much more pleased with the Fractur book! Minus some sequins, this is all the stitching from the first chart done. I have already started on the second chart, with ever more leaves. Not bad considering I really only worked on it the last two Saturdays!
My knitting wrap has continued to travel with me, but still nothing really different to see so I didn't bother with a new pic. It did come with me yesterday to the car place (oil change time), and while I was waiting another lady came in saying she had the same idea. She had brought her crochet, so we had a lovely yarn party.
