Half Way Across

Half way across the top now, and I like the color of the Jodyri floss on this. It's a total of 60 stitches across, so a bit more to go.

 

Decoration on Clay and Stone

Bits of grave goods plus a giant amphora. Lots of decoration on these.






 

La Tenuta de Ciro

This place was a very short walk from Casa Scola in Gragnano. It was a cute place and the food was very good. Those orange slices are some kind of squash that is native to the area. I have not seen it anywhere except around Naples. This place made up for the disappointment that was Casa Scola.

Wildflowers Done

I have another finish. Not at all sure I like the completed project, but it's another one done.

 

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.
