dabbling in embroidery
Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.
I added a couple more rounds to my bead crochet snake, but the main project that got my focus this week was an ancient embroidery project that I’ve finally decided what to do with. The stitching is simple, geometric & meditative – so really, it’s all about picking colors.
I can also see a glimmer of the end of the month of crazy busy. Fingers crossed.
But tomorrow, I’m super excited to share an interview with Teresa Gregorio (aka CanaryKnits), all about the new book she’s working on (and kickstarting) with Leah Coccari-Swift (aka RubySubmarine). The book is a Twin Peaks inspired collection called Great Northern, that promises some amazing sweater patterns inspired by log ladies and jelly doughnuts. It’s always wonderful talking with Teresa, and I can’t wait to share what she has to say.
a tired brain, some bangles, and a bead crochet snake
Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.
And the trend of stealing moments for crafting continues. Le sigh.
This month feels like it’s been straight up insanity – mostly due to work things – so my crafting time has been truncated, and any sort of brainpower for writing has been basically non-existent. Which is making me super sad, because I really miss writing here, and thinking out loud about craft, and sharing the details of what I’m making.
I did realize recently that I’ve never written about the first couple set of bead crochet bangles I made – the ones I’ve worn almost constantly since I finished them. So maybe I’ll use that project to get back into the swing of blog post writing.
putting my cardigan aside for a week, so it’s all about the bead crochet
Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.
I took a break from my mammoth of a granny square cardigan, and started working on a couple bead crochet pieces. With only a handful of minutes here and there for crafting (or blog post writing), it’s hugely motivating to be working on a project that shows significant progress after 15 minutes.
Here’s to more time for crafting next week.
