Another cross stitch completed! As usual, it’s from a historic Berlin woolwork pattern, published around the 1840s and included in fol. 360 at the Winterthur Library 🪡

A Dad joke has escaped from my brain.
A two panel comic. In the first, Agness the Animal Crossing resident offers Villager an "Aran-Knit Cardigan". In the second panel, we see Samus crossly attempting to master woolwork while still in her power suit. One needle is taped to her arm cannon.

It’s subzero, and will be for a few days, so I think it’s time to dive into my fiber stash and spin up these cute little nests.

The fiber is a Falkland braid from Spun Right around.

A veritable cornucopia of little fiber nests, curled up and laying on a wooden side table. The fiber is mostly shades of blue and purple, with a love orange showing at time.

finishing a whole berlin woolwork pattern on black aida means you spent the entire project unable to see where the next stitch goes and did it anyway. that is not cross stitch, that is faith with a needle

Peg looming a blanket today. So far, I've used three balls of wool and am on the fourth. This is about 6 hours work.
