This Year's Carnations


This year's carnations are partly sock wool. When I run out of a hue, i take the nearest possible, this creates an antique look. I combine it with a double sawtooth.

  5. I like the rules for enforcing irregularity. There is something so funny and rigorous at the same time. Looks like a Scottish thistle.

  7. You are a resourceful woman Eva. That impresses me and makes me think of ways I can use what I have rather then going out to purchase it.
    Beautiful piece.

  8. Embroidery linen is something I have to buy. But if there wasn't any, I'd do some crewel embroidery which doesn't need a grid.
