Hi everyone!

Well now that I'm finished knitting a gorgeous (if I do say so myself lol) blanket for my DD's bed I'm going back to my first love. Right now I'm secretly working on a piece for my DH for x-mas. It's the signs for family in japanese surrounded with cherry blossoms. He's currently learning japanese on his own and is obsessed with anything japanese.

When he's around I pull out a magnificent chicken set on a quilt background that my Dsis gave to me. I love that piece but have had to modify it a little. The number of threads per stitch is never the same and some colors ask for 5 threads at a time!! There is just no way I can do that without crushing the threads in my hoop. So I've decided to do no more than a maximum of 3 threads and see how that goes. I've tried using scroll frames many times but can't seem to get that two hand coordination thing going. I have a stupid lift hand lol and it takes me 3 times longer trying to use both hands than using a hoop and just one.

So now that I shared my projects , would anyone like to share theirs?

Karen
