A start on block 2


Here is the first seam I completed on block 2 of my courtship project...




And here is the chart for how I did it...
Cross stitches & straight stitches (black, green & blue) and a modified chevron stitch (pink).



Today your quote is from anonymous, and I hope you find it amusing...."Winter (noun)...the three month break between a woman and her razor"

    Those foxy socks are for ceremonial use! Or framing. They're vvvvv labor intensive. Beautiful though.

    And thank you for being a little haven from the anxiety over our political doings. Sign me: reluctant activist!

    Another nice stitch, Mary Anne. That itty bitty fox knitting pattern is amazing isn't it. I too cannot imagine knitting anything that small.

    This seam looks complicated until I see how you have broken it down. I have been seeing several versions of these "Twiddle Muffs". Very interesting concept. I can relate to this definition of Winter. LOL

    You are coming up with some lovely designs, Mary Anne. I like the thread colours

    Interesting article on the twiddle-muffs. I can see how they would be popular with Alzheimer's patients.

    Your stitching is lovely, as always. I was intrigued by the Knit for Dementia link that you posted. Must pass this on to my sister.
    thanks
