A finish again!

Last week was a pretty quiet week. At work things go steady, arrangements for our future trip are made (we also rented a room already) so we can relax and enjoy cozy hours with needle and thread.
The SAL is finished.  I did the last stitching on Thursday, and was able to finish the little purse on Friday.

The other spare hours I used to take a good knit at Red Wine. All the flowers are knitted now and today it was time to cut the steek. So after securing everything by sewing I took my scissors and, together with a deep breath, I started to cut.

Now it is on the needles again, to knit the border. 'Only' twenty rows to go, all around....

Sal part four and Kal finished

It took some time before I realized I am really going to New York. The flight is booked and payed for. Payment took some time before it was shown on my bankaccount so I really got a bit nervous. Can you imagine, being nervous about a payment? How nervous must one be to fly to the Big Apple!

But in spite of all those nerves, knitting and stitching went on. So I can show part four of the SAL I'm in. Only one part to go, it is printed already and beside my chair to be continued this evening.

The KAL I'm in is finished. It was a fun knit and turned out beautifully! My sister did not ask for one, but the way she told me she liked it, was obvious. so I am going to knit one for her also.

Call of the Raven. Did you miss her lately? Well, she is still on my hands (almost) every month. Another page done. 

KAL finished

Last Friday I got a big surprise. My Mary Wigham was shown as a topic on Needleprint. I did send an email with an attached picture when I finished my stitching, but I already forgot I did. I feel honoured!

Last week I joined another SAL on a Dutch group. The stitching will be finished as a purse. Here is the example, mine is in a different colorway.

And, right on schedule, I finished another Mystery KAL by Renee Laverington, Winter Winds. It's knit from a greenish soft yarn, Misti Alpaca Hand Paint Lace 

Also my Red Wine Shawl is getting progress. Only one row to add and its time to cut and add the border.
