stitching anything?

besides gloating, whining, or getting your knickers in knots, are you doing any
stitching?

I'm working on a Smithsonian Institution crewel pillow kit by Mazaltov's.
Instead of filling some of the flower centers with knots, I'm trying to use my
newly acquired knowledge of caging cabochons with mixed results -- one cab fell
out and another looks like it do the same thing sigh

Well, I'm mostly knitting. Finished the glow it the dark scarf for Margaret
and am 3/4's done with DD's.

I've gotten a few more beads and stitches in to the beaded band sampler I'm
doing. Hard to have the beads out with the dog here. I've got a piece that's
in the car tote - it's a counted thread freebie (at least is was on their
website) from Follow the Leader. Some cross stitch with lots of specialty
stitches.


Today will be clean up of various types, call the oil company again that the
hot water heater is still "dead". (ok I can make it work, but is stops
again).


Off to do my morning round of trivia

Interesting. I'll have to pass this designer's name on to my LNS
owner. She likes quirky.

As for me, I'm working on an Assissi piece of my own design as part of
a gift for someone. I thought we had till the 15th, but I see a call
for them ASAP. I've got some work to do, oh boy.

I'm doing the finishing on the Oriental Fan I'm making for a gift. As
usual, when I get near the end of a project I get antsy and bored and can't
wait to start the next.

Recently I bought several skeins of what I'll call eyelash acrylic. I
absolutely can not crochet with it, too flimsy. Has anone knitted
with this kind of fiber? I want to make a scarf and this is her
favorite color green and it feels so cuddly, but so hard to work with.
Any suggestions on how to use it easier?

thanks
Victoria


Buy a similar color in a thin (sport weight, baby weight or fingering if
you can find it) yarn and knit or crochet holding the two strands together.
That makes it a little heavier, but much more stable and easier to work
with.

Yeah, I too find crocheting with all the "fun" threads difficult. If I want
to make a project out of them, I knit.

I think it is easy to knit the eyelash. If you crochet, I'd use a second
yarn as "carrier".
