I ended the year 2024’s slow stitching with a finish. All other stitcheries were put on hold while I worked on a new pair of mittens. Somewhere over the course of time since last winter I lost one of the mitts that made up the pair of my old driving mittens, which necessitated the new ones. Hence the rush to get them finished. Here they are, already worn and used a number of times. 
And since those are finished, I was able to get back to my cross stitching of the Jackrabbit for the series “A Year in the Woods” by Cottage Garden Samplings. 
He is very cute and also handsome, for a jackrabbit.
I’ll link up to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching and then I have to go back to the dreaded task of finishing up some seat cushion covers for one of the school’s class rooms. I was asked to do these several months ago and in a moment of not thinking it through, I said yes. I’ve been putting it off and putting it off and decided that they have to be finished before school is back tomorrow. There were six of them to do. I’ve been working on them since last Monday. I'm about an hour away from finishing the last of them. It has been a week of sewing on nothing but these cushions, at home at least, and I am more than ready to get back to sewing on fun stuff.
LOVE those mitts! Are they considered "double knit"? They definitely look like thay'll keep your hands warm!
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy, I'm in awe of those beautiful mitts. I also stitched Jackrabbit back in last winter and enjoyed it very much though I had issues with which white to use. I also stitched the Pileated Woodpecker and plan to choose another of the series soon. Your profile sounds very similar to mine. Hello and happy stitching to you from just outside Ottawa.
