My journal of cross-stitching: samplers, primitive, whimsical…and others crafts…
Hello everyone!
I really hope that you will like this funny guy! At least it makes me smile!
This is “Jack Sprat”, a freebie design by Notforgotten Farm for the Pumpkin Seed Stitchers facebook group.
The link for the group is: Pumpkin Seed Stitchers.
Stitched on 40 count Moka Newcastle Linen by Zweigart with the called DMC threads.
Thank you so much for visiting! Happy stitching!
Hello!
This year I have not yet made a single cross stitch… I have been knitting…
My country now is on our second lockdown… deaths and cases have surged in the last 15 days… it is very sad…
I decided to add some of my work and progress (WIP’s) and finished pieces into a basket.
I need to fully finish some pieces from the basket above. I need to stitch some of them since I have projects with little stitching to do. And of course I need to add some new stuff to the basket!
Next Saturday I will show you one of the pieces of the basket!
This year I knitted a hat for my husband and I am knitting my first sweater, photos coming soon.
But I will share some knitted pieces from last year, a shawl and socks.
This shawl is my version of Age of Gold by Joji Locatelli. I used a gray colour for the main colour (yarn by Ovelha Negra Victoria, colour number 33) and the border is pink (yarn by Ovelha Negra Victoria, colour number 001). I did a bad job, per usual, blocking this piece, the border needs some fixing. There are more photos on my Ravelry page.
I did manage to knit ten pairs of socks, two pairs for my husband and eight for me!
From left to right: Meias TPC by Cristina Ferreira; Fresh Air socks by Karalee Harding and Dreaming of Paris socks by Joji Locatelli. All the information about the socks are on my Ravelry page too.
It’s all for today! Thanks for your visit! Be safe! See you soon!
Hello everyone! I hope you all are doing well!

Hello, how are you? I hope you all are doing well.
This post should have been done in the beginning of September, but I had a family urgency.
My mother had surgery and I spent a few weeks with my father and then with both.
She had a great recovery. I am very proud and blessed for our public health system is able to deal with the pandemic and other medical care very well…
And now some stitching… this piece is an old work in progress by Gigi R…
Finally finished:
