Almost finished the back of the current cardi. Colourway is browns, russet, mustard, red, orange, cream and acid green, with scraps of previous knits in blue, pink, different orange etc thrown in at random. All worked in a mindless intarsia of 10 st x 12 row blocks, 19 to the row, so, yes, quite baggy.
@la vie en rouge that pattern looks very elegant. I had wondered about it being described as "easy" but looked at a tutorial on princess seams and it made sense.
@Firenze your mixture of colours sounds like an amazing combination.
After going to 5 other needlework shops across the city I finally found the shade of white I need for the badger cross stitch I'm planning for a friend. It was in the shop closest to home but most difficult to access as only 6 buses go past every day, so it involved a long walk.
Apparently an expected delivery of craft supplies hasn't arrived in the country, so there are a few frustrated stitchers who can't find what they want. Maybe we should picket the importers.
How did your dormouse turn out @Sarasa? More importantly I think is did you enjoy making it?
I really enjoyed the workshop, and though my dormouse is a bit rough and ready I think it was OK for a first attempt. The person running the class took our pieces away to fire and paint for us, so I'll know in a couple of week what it really looks like.
Today I've been 'helping' my neighbour make a dress for me to wear at a Regency ball I'm attending next week. I didn't do much as she soon realised I'm no dressmaker. I'm feeling rather guilty as she's basically re-drawn the pattern to make it suit me better and given herself loads of work. Quite a few bottles of wine will be heading her way!
