New month – new Finish

Earlier today, I finished this lovely pattern.  Now, the color suggested by the designer was really awful (a muddy yellow) so I changed it to several colors. In general, I pulled most of the colors from the original illustrations rather than from Disney. Most of the floss is out of the 4xxx DMC series with the only two solid colors being DMC 4 & 8.

althogether 7854 stitches on 16/18 ct Aida from Forbidden Fiber Co.

Other than that, the house is quiet, George is out of town, the cat is being less obnoxious than usual and Noah has kindly taken the two grandkids downstairs for supper and movie evening so I can join the Acorns & Threads Zoom.

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!
