Singin' the Wash Line Blues

I was very excited to log into Blogger today to find that I had gained a follower & received a comment! lol Thank you Daffycat for your comment on my first post. I enjoyed following your progress on Crabby Year, a very cool piece!

Here is a new picture of my Lizzie Kate piece with the buttons and framed.

And here is a picture of my progress on Singin' the Wash Line Blues. I started this one last Sunday, but have not been able to work on it the past few days. All of the stitches are 1/2 stitches done with 6 strands of floss.

Sorry the fabric is wrinkled and a little crooked, I just couldn't get a good pic.

  1. Oh, Nick, your Lizzie*Kate looks AWESOME! It makes me want to stitch it now!

    Blues looks really cool. I've never done one that is in all half stitch. I'm thinking they call it tent stitch? I'll be looking forward to seeing more of this!

  10. Welcome to blogger-dom!! What a great way to start your blog - love the LK finish! Wow - your needles must be smokin' 'cause you finished that very quickly! I'm more of a "snail-type" stitcher - I couldn't stitch fast if I had to, but I'm working on it!
    I just love your blue piece!! I can't wait to watch your progress!
    Now, about that Michigan business - I was born in Ohio, so we may have a bit of a "diss" when football season rolls around...but I think we can still be friends, right?? LOL I live in Florida now and LOVE my Gators, so we'll patch up just fine, I'm sure! :)
    Again, welcome!

    Love the L*K. The colours are so nice and bright.

    You're a trooper with the Washing Line piece. All those blended fibres...requires too much patience for me!

  16. Welcome to blogland. There's nothing wrong with a guy who stitches, I know two male stitchers (in their 30s) who have stitched in the past.

    I look forward to seeing your Singing the washing line blues progress, it's a gorgeous design.

  17. I was visiting Daffycat's blog and she told me to go here, so of course - being the sheep that I am - I did. And I'm glad I did, because your LK finish is to die for! Ooh, and the birdies on the wash line are so cute! Those are some gorgeous blues you're using.
    It's nice to see another guy in blogland. I got the stitchy bug from my Dad :o))

  28. Welcome to blogland Nick! I definitely have to follow someone who love U of M football. We're avid fans here (and DS hopes to go there in a couple years). It will be fun to watch your progress with your stitching!

  32. Like you, I just discovered the world of cross stitching blogs just recently. I haven't yet jumped in myself, but I enjoy reading them. I'm also a fairly young cross stitcher, only 24. My family has always been very crafty, but cross stitch really is my crafty hobby of choice. My 18 year old brother knits!

    Your Lizzie*Kate is wonderful. I'm definitely going to have to add that one to my wish list.
