Roland’s Work - 2024 Update Oct 25

[Serinde]

Looks like you have a bit of tree -- the green bit, bottom left; what the stripey part is remains a mystery!

Now you can see what the stripey part is.

[Serinde]

A snuggly robe?

[Roland]

A big fluffy sweater.

[Mabel Figworthy]

A very comfortable looking teddy!

[Roland]

Update.

[Serinde]

This is going to be very cute indeed!

[Mabel Figworthy]

That's a fast-growing tree!

[Roland]

Update. Please ignore the cat hair. I pluck it off as I go, so it shouldn’t be sown into the picture.

[Mabel Figworthy]

As we all know, cat hair is impossible to ignore Great progress!

[fccs]

He’s adorable. And I’ve pretty much given up tweezing out cat hair and dog hair from my work. I mean, I do go for the big pieces but I no longer use a magnifier to find those bonus fibers.

Such a lovely bear

[Roland]

Update on my stocking.

[Mabel Figworthy]

looking really Christmassy, and such a lot of interesting details already!

Yeah, what she said.

[Roland]

Those holes will eventually be home to some beads. There are also beads as holly berries with the leaves.

[Serinde]

Such a fun design.

[Roland]

I’m now working on the backstitch. When I started doing the vines I found some leaves were off by a stitch or even a half stitch. Much of the leaves needed to be redone.

[Mabel Figworthy]

Oh that's annoying - no chance of tweaking the backstitch to fudge it? Half a stitch wouldn't endanger stocking assembly would it? I suppose it depends on whether it would keep niggling at you....

[Roland]

It would stick out to me forever. So, I just ripped them out as I went along.
