The Christmas ornament is so pretty and delicate looking. The Afghan design is also lovely. I really like the colors and am looking forward to seeing more of it.

That is an awesome bauble!!!!!!

Beautiful work.

Great finish on the bauble (glad you found that fourth button!) and the celtic border is lovely

very cute bobble and nice update!

Some new finishes.

The Celtic Knot on my afghan:




And Dove:



In this I used the two different methods of stitching with variegated threads that I learnt from Mabel - stitching in rows for stripey effect and in circles for spotty effect. Can you see the difference?

I love both of these and I love the way you stitched with the varigated thread!! Very nicely done

Oh isn't that very cool work!!!! The 2 effects for the variegated looks great!!!!!!

So pretty and I also love how you get the different looks from the variegated thread.

How amazing the difference in the stitching using the variegated threads.
Beautiful finish on both of these panels - love the colours of the Celtic knot.

Both of those are lovely! What a great way to do the variegated stitching.

Beautiful lovely projects!

Stop! STOP! This stitching is just too amazing for me to keep up with!

Clever use of thread there Agi!

I've never seen a Spotty Dove!

Wendy, then it was high time seeing this, right?

I love any design with a celtic scheme and this is no exception. So are you doing a whole afghan of celtic stuff? Don't know how I've managed to miss that.

One more square on my Celtic afghan. It comes from a book, and it was supposed to be done in greys to look like a stone cross. But I wanted it to fit in with the other patterns so I changed the colours to gold/copper-ish, and did the corners in the same red and blue I used in the other pattern.



This is the afghan so far with four patterns: two I received rom Jilly, one bought on e-bay, one comes from a book. The photo doesn't do justice to the colours.



I will use some motifs from the BoInk freebie I stitched a few years ago, the birds, and then two smaller knots or something for the four corners. Then I will decide whether it needs more or not. Perhaps less is more since the colours are so vibrant.

Beautiful. And aren't afghans nice to stitch on in the cold weather. Not only to you get to stitch, but you have a cozy afghan to keep you warm at the same time!
