The General

All I did today was stitch on "The General" and 100 stitches on the computer bag.  I have to go to the store to get some floss for my Oldest UFO - SAL.
Lil'Bit has her 2 upper incisor (next to front teeth) teeth that poked through finally. I find it odd that they came out before her front 2 teeth. But I feel them just under the gums.

Happy Stitching.

MonthlyDishcloths (MDC) - KAL - Coffee Coaster

I completed the first KAL on MonthlyDishcloths. It went very quickly.  I didn't find a file with the whole KAL in the postings. So the messages are as follows -  #99, #141, #164, #187, #196.  Did some more work on The General,  and a few inches on the computer bag .  
I received my September 2011 issue of Creative Knitting.  There are quite a few items that I want to do, but which one do I start with. 

Don't forget to subscribe and leave comments.  If there is anything that you want to see just let me know.


Happy Stitching.

Old Time Locomotives - The General

Going thru my WIP tote, I found a cross stitch project that I started a few months ago. It got put up and buried. So I have only worked on it one day.  The project can be found in For the Love of Cross Stitch March 1992 on pages 18-19. It is 2 of 2 in the Old-time Locomotives Collection.  I like that it only used a few colors so its easy to travel with. It seems to be a fast stitching because most of the colors are in straight lines - you don't have to constantly look back at the pattern.

For my supplies I am using Charles Craft 14 ct Ivory Aida & DMC floss.
