Hi everybody, and welcome to Autumn! It's my favorite season, especially here in Seattle where we get a few weeks of gorgeous weather every late September - early October. And then, of course, it's Halloween and you know I adore the spooky season!
Last time I had just started the "Redwork Noel" pattern -- though in white on red rather than red on white.
The idea was that this "thread only" project would be a better choice with my two boisterous and curious kittens. Well, let's just say that that are VERY INTERESTED in both thread and paper, so it's still a little rough. But sometimes I get some stitches in while I sit in the garden, or while they sleep. (All those zoomies tire a little fella out!)
I've stitched nearly 20 of the 120 rows and I like the way the white-on-red looks. There's a long way to go, but I like it so far! By our next check-in I hope to have gotten at least another 10 rows stitched.... again, assuming the kittens allow it...
It took me a minute to figure out the difference of white on red vs. red on white, but then I saw the border. This is so very pretty. Enjoy your kittens' antics and your stitching.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cathie! If I time things just right I get about 15 minutes after work while they're still napping. Slow and steady!
DeleteBrilliant idea to reverse colours. Looking great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Claire -- sometimes it's hard to "read" the chart backwards, but I'm getting used to it.
DeleteThis will be spectacular!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy!
DeleteLooking great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gun!
DeleteThis is already looking gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon -- still a loooooooong way to go. Christmas 2025, maybe?
DeleteLove this! The white on the red is beautiful. Excellent progress too. ☺️
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary Margaret!
DeleteLove your redwork Sunny. Although I do not have cats I have a similar problem with Gina. When a large dog decides she is coming on your knee and will lie on that stitching if you do not move it fast, its difficult to carry on and even more difficult to say NO when she starts giving you kisses lol. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen! It always makes me smile when big dogs think they are lap dogs. Give her a skritch for me!
DeleteI love red and white together. This is going to be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks Avis! Both my mum and my beloved mother-in-law like red and white so I think it has rubbed off on me!
