first month, last day

Ohhhhh yes :
time flies

Another month in lockdown
though daughter visits from time to time
(a good bait is the sauna we have in our home !)
She also took her latest knitting project with her :



A top-down jumper,
the main colour and the extra colours in the yoke
were specially dyed for her by a friend
(I limit it to just knitting socks nowadays !)

But today we were also counting birds
with help of the youngest grandson.
Fresh seed in the birdfeeder might have helped a bit :
there were lots of birds to count !!!

(and later, while mum was in the sauna,
we played some games too)

*

I realized that I totally forgot the fun object I made
for Richard McVetis' workshop,
not from a picture this time but from my own scribble.
I made three different ones 10 x 10 cm.









three pieces nearly finished


finished

Richard made cubes of woolen fabric that he embroidered,
but for a cube you need 6 squares
and I only had three
(and didn't want to make three more)
So
another hexahedron for me
a double three sided pyramid
like the ones I made out of paper
(like those by the Dong people in China)










The finished end result !


The upcoming STITCH CLUB workshop
is eco printing, by Caroline Nixon.
I hope this time I get some results with this technique that I like 
. . .

  2. DAS IST ALLES SO STIMMIG !
    Deine Bilder sind so inspirierend, dass man auch gleich loslegen
    möchte. ( Leide fehlt mir gerade mein linker Daumen :(
    Aber ich weiß ja wo ich schauen kann, wenn es wieder geht.
    Herzliche Grüße, Angela

  3. your sinuous seams and stitches pair beautifully with the hard edges of the hexahedron ...
