Debatable

So much for my plan last week to schedule a post so I didn't have to rush to do this when I got back after a weekend away. Anyway at long last here is another picture finished off with more of the gold thread. The pattern says it is Ramses III but Ramses II was the great king ruling for 60 years I think. We have tried to look them up to work out which he is but they seem to look the same. Still got to put his name on and undecided which to put - ho hum.
Not many pictures left to do but I have run out of thread for the mosque that I am dong next, so this week I have been knitting - hopefully a finished project to show in the next post :-)

Catching Up

After having found the gold thread this has meant another picture could be completed in relative quick time. Again sorry for the slightly blurred picture - I must sort out the camera battery problem. For the photographers amongst you, my camera has a function that tells you if the subject blinked - well Cleopatra had several shots taken before I was happy and most of them had a warning that she had blinked!!! Bizarre.
Had an enjoyable day today which included some knitting outside as the weather was so lovely - photos of the knitting coming soon.

March's Picture

Today I have managed to finish this picture - it had been stuck for a while as the gold thread was missing - found in the corner by the sofa :-) The gold is not the easiest thing to work with - it splits into 3 and doesn't come together at the ends making threading a needle difficult even using Thread Heaven.
Hopefully this week, now the gold has been released from the corner, I should be able to finish another two pictures.

The First Blackberries of the Year

Here is the back of the jumper that I purchased the wool for 3 weeks ago - managed to resist starting a new project until last Saturday - wow! It is going well so far as the pattern is just 4 rows- not sure when it will be finished though, which is possibly a good thing until I learn how to do the washing! Today I managed to shrink a cardigan - oh dear!!!
Not much craft work has been done today but trying to make up for lost time now with the cross-stitch.
Oooo and yesterday I purchased a fabulous book - Arne and Carlos Knit-and-Crotchet Garden - a beautiful book full of wonderful brightly coloured pictures - the nicest ones are the crotchet patterns, not something I can do so that will have to be a challenge for the future.
Oh well - that's all for tonight - back next week with hopefully a picture of Mount Sinai that is almost finished.
