stitching anything?

besides gloating, whining, or getting your knickers in knots, are you doing any stitching?

I'm working on a Smithsonian Institution crewel pillow kit by Mazaltov's. Instead of filling some of the flower centers with knots, I'm trying to use my newly acquired knowledge of caging cabochons with mixed results -- one cab fell out and another looks like it do the same thing

Nope, I am knitting. When I was in the UK I had taken Emi Bishops Unfinished Sampler with me - only needs an hour or two to finish it. Can't see it well enough with contacts or glasses to finish it, so I am back to knitting.

Well, I'm mostly knitting. Finished the glow it the dark scarf for Margaret and am 3/4's done with DD's.

I've gotten a few more beads and stitches in to the beaded band sampler I'm doing. Hard to have the beads out with the dog here. I've got a piece that's in the car tote - it's a counted thread freebie (at least is was on their website) from Follow the Leader. Some cross stitch with lots of specialty stitches.

Today will be clean up of various types, call the oil company again that the hot water heater is still "dead". (ok I can make it work, but is stops again).

Off to do my morning round of trivia Cheryl

Interesting. I'll have to pass this designer's name on to my LNS owner. She likes quirky.

As for me, I'm working on an Assissi piece of my own design as part of a gift for someone. I thought we had till the 15th, but I see a call for them ASAP. I've got some work to do, oh boy.

I'm doing the finishing on the Oriental Fan I'm making for a gift. As usual, when I get near the end of a project I get antsy and bored and can't wait to start the next.

Yeah, I too find crocheting with all the "fun" threads difficult. If I want to make a project out of them, I knit.

I think it is easy to knit the eyelash. If you crochet, I'd use a second yarn as "carrier".

It was one of the treasures culled from the estate of a long time stitcher that I bought at a recent rummage sale and might be a reproduction of a pillow or textile in the Smithsonian. Other than an address in Amityville, NY, there isn't any additional information about the company. Google and Yahoo searches only turned up a few of their kits on ebay and ebay like sites. In addition, there's no date on the packaging or instructions -- I'm guessing 70's or maybe even earlier.

I had and stitched a bunch of those kits. Still have the pillows, in finished and unfinished form...

It depends on the lamp. If the ballast is part of the bulb (like in the new CFLs) or the lamp itself (the thin-tube fluorescent piano lamps, f'rex), it's not replaceable.

There are a lot of lamps, though, with replaceable ballasts. IIRC, my MiL's Dazor has a replaceable ballast, but I don't know if they all do.

I was going to tell you all with great excitement about this terrific chart I ordered, and now.....I can't remember the name!!!!! I tried the website I ordered it from (the always helpful Traditional Stitches in Calgary), but I can't find it! sigh. It should be here any day now.

Did you really have to show me these patterns. I made a promise to myself not to buy one more pattern that I don't have time to do and now you're making me break that promise. They have some MUST HAVE dog patterns.

I don't own, or particularly want to own, PC Stitch. Does the free viewer work well?

Of course! :)

Yes, that's all I have. It's very easy to use, too. Once you purchase the pattern you can print them up in color, b&w symbols or both. Their patterns are always nice and clear.

Go for it and enjoy! :)

As an experiment I downloaded this month's freebie. Nicely done.

One more question and then I shall decide just which patterns I absolutely have to have.

How do you print color. I was only able to get b&W. Or did I miss something when I printed it?

Reply to
Lucille

Use a color printer! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Seriously, now.

Under "View" at the bottom is "Stitches display as" Then take your pick. Easy-peasy! :)
