Stitch Maynia #3 - Owl

A lot of people got this on sale at Hobby Lobby in the last month or so.  Not me.  There are no Hobby Lobbys in Kosovo.  Mine came from 123Stitch.  It's for Andreas; this year's theme seems to be owls and other things for Andreas.

Went To Zweigart

I went to Zweigart last weekend!  The factory outlet is huge.  It happens to also be in the suburb of Stuttgart that we were visiting friends in anyway.  We went on Saturday morning, and they were even having a sale.  Part of what I bought is this three pieces of fabric.  The brown one will have a Chatelaine start on it.  The other two, I'm not sure about.  All were significantly lower in price than in retail stores in the States.

Stitch Maynia #2 - Clockwork Bird


This is such a neat design and I was eager to start it.  I have another in the clockwork series, too.  Hopefully I will get more time to stitch soon.

Another Afghan

This is a Lion brand pattern that I used Lion Brand Mandala yarn for.  It's in a color picked out by the mom, and it's ready before the baby's due.  Now I have at least two more to make very soon.

Stitch Maynia #1 - Bad Wolf

Andreas insisted I do this pattern, so I am.  It's Bad Wolf, and is half wolf and half rose.  Got a good bit of progress done on the first session.

Evening Up

The two sides are pretty even now, and the bottom is well started.  I've been stitching less here in Germany, but I am hoping to get back to this soon.

Time For Tea

I didn't get a chance to taste any of the tea this month before I left, but I'm looking forward to it when I get home.
