A finish! And a discussion of how I un-spun then re-spun my vintage silk thread.

Motto and inner border complete. Now on to the outer framing border.

More than a WIP - stitching complete, ASSIST joins my ever growing pile of FOs awaiting framing or other finishing. Excuse the sickbed pin-out. I am not yet ambulatory enough to even consider hauling out the ironing board.

It's me from from the old wiseNeedle yarn review site days. Still knitting, but recently have returned to blackwork embroidery. Among the pieces I've finished are three fan tributes to my Resident Male's fiction output. I'm just finishing up the third in a series of rage-stitched protest samplers.

Voiding again. Worth every minute invested.

New toys. Small extension bars and rollers, to add to my Millenium frame pieces. The rollers are the 8" (20 cm). The extenders are the 6-9" (15.5 - 22.5 cm).

I'll post a full blog entry on this soon, after I lace for added tension.

Here's my stitching output for 2024. All of these are original compositions, mostly from my own original bands and motifs, with the remainder of the bands being material I have redacted myself from portraits and artifacts.

Firmly on Team Comma.

Channeling rage. The rest will be stitched in black. Still thinking on what to put there. May hit the drawing board and doodle up something new.
