I did get slightly sidetracked this week as a new magazine came out and I decided I wanted to have a go. It is called the Art of Knitting. I haven't knitted in about twenty years so needed a bit of a refresher. I didn't get far enough to show anything. I really need to practice my casting on lol.
I did stitch on Temptation's Vervaco this week and have nearly finished her back and will be soon stitching the shawl. My clever mum managed to take a piece of thread to a shop that sells DMC thread that I am nearly out of and managed to match it up for me. Little does she know I have another one lol. I daren't carry on in case I do run out although I might not it's a bit 50/50.
Heres my progress picture.
Thank you for all your answers to my questions. I decided to carry on with the hoops for now and hope that my stitches go back to normal after I washed and ironed it when it is finished. I have also decided to keep my threads on bobbins as I really don't feel like unwinding them as much as I detest winding them on lol.
I can't believe that I have got 103 followers. I am going to have a another giveaway later in the year to celebrate my blogaversary and my followers. I would like to thank you all for following my ramblings and a special thanks to those who leave comments they really do make day.
Until next time, happy stitching.

I'm amazed! I admire your courage for stitching that Vervaco piece, how huge is that! And so charming :)
The house is coming right along, Lesleyanne.
Siiiiigh... Vervaco. She sure sends my heart a pitter patter. :D
I love your comment about the draft in your LHN house. Hopefully the builder will take care of that soon. Vervaco is looking lovely - it's so nice to see her developing. Nice of your mum to get you the DMC; I'm sure it will be put to good use one way or another.
I just love watching your big WIP develop!
You're making great progress on both of these and they are looking lovely especially the gorgeous lady.
Good luck with the knitting! I took up my needles again after a very long break and it's just like riding a bike LOL.

Your WIP's are looking great! My Sister knits and she makes some really beatiful things, it looks fascinating to me but my heart is in stitching :)
Lovely stitching. Great progress.
I was taught to knit by my Grandma, the first thing I made was a 'scarf' for a small teddy bear. somehow it had a huge hole in the middle. Strange thing was I started and finished with the same number of stitches!!! Must have been magic.
Your LHN house is really coming along. If you were living here, you'd definitely want a door on it ;o) LOL!
Vervaco is just stunning.
Congrats on all the followers!
Wonderful progress on your WIPs! Vervaco is gorgeous!
