Huswif

I got at least half a line done on the huswif. It's a lot less yellow in person. Don't know what happened to the camera this week that made it so. I'll be finishing the rest of the band this week and hopefully the next band too, which is a really quick satin stitch band.

Huswif Bands A and B

I got the mystery Huswif's first two bands done. The next band is some upside down letters and I'll at least start that next week. Even though these colors aren't really what I like, it's growing on me some. At least it's not pastel! That's the problem with mysteries, though - you never know the colorways. This one could definitely be worse.

Mystery Huswif

New project! My husband took the picture upside down, but he didn't know. It's the first picture he's taken of it. I actually paid for this back in November and got the first installment in February. It's the 2007 Mystery from Carol Tinson of Heirloom Embroideries. It's a huswif, something I've never done before. The silks are from Vicki Clayton and they're very smooth and wonderful to work with. I got some more done on this yesterday, so you'll see more in the picture next week. Of course, I have no hope of catching up to everyone else... but I'm used to that by now.
