There were several walks, ceremonies, and recognitions planned for today. I briefly thought about attending a couple of them before acknowledging that they fell into the “too hard to do” or “too far to travel” category.
So instead, I checked in with various friends and stayed quietly at home.
I put in a bit of time on The Herbalist SAL. A section drops every Monday. I have been easily keeping up with the stitching, but have the backstitching yet to do.
Otherwise, today was a day for working on a long range project – the MFE, No Time Like the Present – now at 44%
and Nora Corbett NC321 – Fiddle Fern –
which, so far, is a lot of greens…
I have put a half knitted clock face to one side for technical reasons relating to the mechanism. Your SAL one almost (but not quite) encourages me to think about finding another mechanism.
Oh, dear. The clock “face” on this stitch isn’t exactly a clock face – as you will see shortly. Yes, there is a real challenge of translating a “real” object into knit or cross stitches…
