De ja Vu

Do you remember this way back in 2008?  Beautiful work from someone who had not been embroidering for very long.  Inspiration for us all.

embarrassing !

Despite my good intentions, I haven't managed to add to my blog in over a month and even now have little to show. In mitigation, I have finished the travelling journal ahead of time but can't blog that or I'll spoil the fun. Here then is what I have done when collapsed in front of the TV.

The stitch is very clever and produces a reversible rib, grey dominating on one side and purple on the other. I can't tell you how many times I had to repeat the set up to make the pattern work - I must be very dim. The cowl is artfully arranged so you can't see the errors but I have every confidence that my next attempt will be perfect !
