I think you are right Mirjam. I still read RCTN, but really don't have anything to contribute. I still do counted cross-stitch now and again, but for the most part I knit. Two years ago the knitting bug bit, and I'm loving it. I learned to knit when I was in my early teens, but now I knit socks, lace, and usually have a sweater on the go. The finished projects are useful, and once you are finished there is no additional cost. I used to spend hundreds of dollars on framing, but not anymore. I did get TIAG's Gift of Peace framed in November, but that is the first piece I've finished and had framed in years. take care, Linda D. in B.C., Canada
Hallo linda ! how are you .. This morning i finished sewing a new woolen cloth skirt for me [some of my old ones are really old]. i bought this piece of cloth last year on sale. it has Green and Orange Bigger squares and some` 2 threads` blue and white lines in between. it is really a beauty. Imagine my joy and surprise when i noted that my last woolen threads purchase last year, in fact has the same colors,,,,thus i will knit a top to go with it. And since last year i knitted myself a new well needed vest in green. i really feel all renewed for this winter and the new coming year. Besides this i knitted quite some moebiouses, i do recommend this kind of shawl. As to some fiber art i just finished some works that include lots of cut parts from old clothes, and some felted parts i made from `ancient` sweaters. mirjam
