Over the last few weeks I’ve had a horrendous ear infection – it’s kept me away from anything remotely resembling counted work – which meant, no model stitching on current projects.
It didn’t’ stop me from stitching, though, and I got the following embroidery projects completed, along with about 4 thread crochet doilies – yes, I know, those require counting, but it’s a lot easier to rip back crochet work than cross stitch!
As usual, click on the pictures to see them larger (and in their entirety!).

- An unblocked towel that is now in use… and never ironed any more! 🙂
Ooh, pretty…
Delightful! Although I’m rather confused about how an ear infection stops you doing counted work.
Oh, that’s easy. I couldn’t think straight. Know how toddlers scream when they have one? For at least one week of it I was on the verge of the same. It felt like there was a little guy inside my ear poking ice picks through my eardrum. Somehow I could focus on embroidery, but not if I had to count. I think stem stitch is just more meditative for me. 🙂
