Bird Cage?

The Frame for the new LolaCrow SAL is looking more and more like a bird cage. Similar to the three previous SALs of hers that I have stitched, the frame has a lot of black and has about 6k worth of stitches.

I found some fabric that I liked out of my stash which means that I have no clue where it came from, only that it is probably hand dyed and looks to be 16ct. The overall size of this piece is 181w x 226 h.

I started this yesterday and managed another 1350 stitches today 2483/6222 which puts me at almost 40% complete. I just love pattern keeper. Not the stats part, but the sorting of symbols by color and being able to mark off as I go.  21 colors all told here.

my phone is downstairs, so I will grab and post a picture later… – actually as it turns out – I spent time playing hunt the phone. Even “Find my..” couldn’t locate it. Why? Duh, battery ran down … anyway –

 

 

 

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
