As I might have mentioned before, can get a bit crowded with things that I either need to do or want to do, During the academic year, I can catch grand rounds from either UCSF or ZGH/SFVA at noon on Tues. The stitchers’ group out of Acorns&Threads in Portland has a Zoom group from 1700-1900. A local knitting group meets at the Kensington Library from 1830-2000.
You get the idea. So obviously this was a good day to get going on some cleaning during the morning. I got as far as my comfortable chair in the living room. The cat plunked down on my lap. Ok, I guess this is a reading break which lasted till almost noon.
But I managed to finishing up the four birds in last Friday’s addition to Extraordinary Birds which involved anotehr 616 stitches.
and completed the Blue Macaws
which was mostly a matter of all the rest of the motifs. And yes, the lower bird still looks quite coy. Pattern from Lindy Stitches in 2024. I now have 5/6 critters out of the series complete.
I also finished the current Strider (designer Martina Behm) with just the ends to weave in as well as frogging out the first 20 rows on a shawl because it just didn’t look right.
I have finished the Sofie Kelly Magical Cats Mystery series (thanks Hoopla) and have moved on to Sofie Ryan’s cozy mystery set in Maine.
Glorious work!
Thank you!
