Not long after I arrived home from India, Mark and set out on another trip. Sort of at the last minute I grabbed the sheep from the nativity series because I had taken them to India. (What was I thinking? That I'd have time or the energy in India to stitch? Actually I knew it was a long shot but I thought it might be soothing in a stressful environment - so I decided to carry it along.) There wasn't much time for stitching in India - maybe 15 or 20 minutes at most. So I was able to work on the bottom border - nearly panicked over the feather stitch (I'd forgotten to take the stitch diagram from the earlier stitch guide.) but finally figured it out. The sheep made it to the next hop and I really did panic when I couldn't remember how to make a colonial knot. I've done them before but they're not burned into my brain. And my brain doesn't recall motions. But it did remember YouTube. There are videos on YouTube showing how to do a colonial knot!!
I think the message is "Get out of the 80's!!!"
Happy Stitching
