when there’s been some finishing, there has to then be a beginning.
two grey eyes and a red barrette ..
I keep wanting to say a wincey dress – you remember, from Anne of Green Gables. Since I was a little girl, wincey to me meant this colour, not a particular kind of fabric. Actually, I’ve no idea what wincey is!
But this cannot be wincey, I guess, because the grey-eyed girl wears it with pleasure. And it has puffed sleeves. A wincey dress would never have puffed sleeves.
Now I want to sit on the back porch, the sun on my lap …
the furry children at my feet …
But alas, errands and work call. I shall spend my day in busy-ness. Hopefully there will be Noro wool because now that it’s cold, I have no shawl. Nope, I gave it to my Nanny because her old, twisted bones were cold. No matter – a good opportunity to knit another.
Mind you, I don’t want to knit. I want to play with the girl with the red barrette.
You are so productive at the moment I can barely keep up! I love the latest scarf, just beautiful. Grey is so sophisticated. I am so envious of the shawl you gave to your grandmother. She’s a lucky, lucky lady. The bobble scarf is lovely too. Josh has worn his scarf to bed the last couple of nights. He’s enjoying the cooler weather.
So creative in your posting…the writing so interesting….leaving your reader wanting more! Bravo.
Wow, looks like your “beginning” is going very fast, and the girl with the barrette is going to be finished soon! Over here, I can’t wait to put away the shawls for the next several months, it should have happened already, but it won’t be long now!
You’re killing me! She is just adorable, and I do not want to sit at work drooling over her – I want to S.T.I.T.C.H
A lovely beginning! Of course, I had to go and look up “wincey”–do you know that you have to pay to find out the definition of “wincey” from Webster’s (only found in the premium unabridged dictionary; now you know). I do remember reading it in Anne of Green Gables and got the meaning from the context and my imagining what wincey fabric looked like. I think I got it right back then. She will be lovely!
So lovely stitching again! I want to see the girl later too!
this is one of the reasons I love the internet – I just googled it – funny it says it’s a noun AND then says the use of it as a noun is rare. I love your stitching – all kinds!!
• WINCEY (noun)
The noun WINCEY has 1 sense:
1. a plain or twilled fabric of wool and cotton used especially for warm shirts or skirts and pajamas
Familiarity information: WINCEY used as a noun is very rare.
So weird, my little girl has grey eyes and is wearing a red barrette! You can see photos of her on my blog to prove it!
What beautiful craftsmanship! I’d love to know how to embroider.
Looking good! Every time I see some of your crosstitching, I feel the urge to get my floss and fabric out and start something new. It will happen soon, but not today – I’m experimenting with machine trapunto.
