A Hidden Finish

I participated in the fall exchange on the BBInteractive YahooGroup this year, and sent this to my partner. She's received it, so I can post it now. The pattern was off of a French freebie site, and I like the way the thread turned out. It looks like fall to me.

Reaching the Bottom

Blue's almost done on the lower left lines and the other side of the acanthus is started in the bottom egg. Some more of the background got done this week, too.

So Close and Upside Down

For the past month, I've been using a computer that's not mine. Mine's in the Dell shop getting repaired. Luckily, it's still under warranty. So I can't rotate this picture for you as I normally would. It's Tiramisu, of course, but upside down. It's also showing that I'm on the very last band. So close to being done! Next time I work on it, it's finished.

Tenth Done

Ten parts done now. It's looking pretty good, although this picture is somewhat dark. Now on to part eleven...

So Maybe It Is a Dragon

I got more done on the bookmark from HAED. The head is about done now, and it looks different than the picture on the pattern, but then I think they always do. Pictures don't capture the details. I always thought it was a salamander, but the head's not salamander-ish. Perhaps it is a dragon, after all.

Middle's Done

I finished the middle stripe finally. About a third of the total pages for the whole ornament were about this stripe. Now I get to go on to the other two-thirds of the instructions.

Blame the Frog

I made a mistake and discovered it four letters later... which means I had to frog. This picture is mid-ribbit. The S and the first part of the T are correct. The U and V are not. Can you see the mistake? Since the picture, I've completed the part and moved on to the next stitchalong project -the Kaleidoscope Mandala.
