I wasn't going to break my UFO clearing promise I decided to pick up on the sock knitting front. But by Friday I was back to square one, it had been destroyed by my youngest daughter again! I don't know why she likes destroying my knitting, but she has been in a funny mood this week. I think it might be the weather, it has been a bit on the wet side because we have had the toilet tissue around the house incident, dancing in the nappy sacks and a trip to A&E after eating tip-ex along with putting it in her eye as well, I'm sure she is trying to send me mad.
So Friday afternoon I decided after the sock destroying session I'm going to stick to no more than two needles for a while. But my fingers are twitchy! I don't want to go back to the poppy cross stitch yet because there is still a lot of work to be done on that one and I want something I can finish to make me feel like I'm getting somewhere. So I got brave and decided to venture under the stairs! which proved to be to be quite a success, I found a cross stitch which needs finishing.
This one is a DMC kit which is over 15 years old called Vera's cottage, I think it was either a birthday or a Christmas present because I don't remember buying this one. All that needs finishing on it is all the back stitch and five stitches. I know it hasn't been touched for a long time because the needle which has been left in it has started to go rusty and mark the Aida. But I know why it ended up becoming a UFO, the chart is very hard to follow and when it comes to the back stitch its almost impossible to see where the back stitch is on the chart. No wonder I gave up on this one, it was most probably giving me a headache.
"ouch" rusty needle!
only five stitches and all the back stitch!
