One More Curl

The top of the back is done. I've almost gone through a whole skein of floss at this point.

 

Kore on Display

The Athens archaeology museum has whole rooms of kore on display. Some are slightly different.

 

Wedding Fireworks

Casa Scola faces the other side of a steep valley. To get there you have to do these major switchbacks with a great pitch on cobbled road. Across the way is another town. The hotel in that town was hosting a wedding our first night there. Kind of pretty.

 

Casa Scola Food

Back in October we went to Italy and stayed at an agroturismo in Gragnano. It had a good website and supposedly a lot of features we wanted. Unfortunately, the hosts were abominable. The staff was surly and looked at you like you were an imposition. We were so very disappointed. This is the meal we had on arrival while waiting for someone to show up at the reception desk to check us in. Yes, it took that long to track someone to do it down. 

While the food was good, it wasn't that good. And the price was expensive. So it was the last meal outside of breakfast we ate there.

 

Some Crossings

The first sets of crossings are taking shape. This is another one that I brought with me for the temp quarters.

 

Little Green Blotches

You can kind of see the parsley leaves peeping out. More definition later.

 

So Much Inspiration

The final pot in this group is a truly famous one - it's even been on book covers. But this first, top pot is the one that caught my eye. Look at all the different borders for stitch inspiration! And the peeps!
