I can hardly believe it, but look what I just finished last night:
I’m going to guess that I started this snowman cross-stitch in 2000-ish. It was definitely in the 2 year post-wedding/pre-blogging era of my life. In fact, I started it so long ago that it was before the stick-on velcro stuff that you attach to the scroll bars and fabric – the fabric is actually sewn to the scroll bars.
Of course, this project is not exactly finished. I still have a separate section that hangs below this part to stitch, which says “Snow! Snow! Snow!” all in one color of blue. I’m toying with the idea of bringing it to Florida with me on vacation. We’ll see how much room there is in the suitcase.
I also finally took pictures of the finished pair of falling leaves socks. I finished them up on Father’s Day, right when I was having issues with the internet, so I never got around to posting about it. Sorry about the blindingly white legs sticking out over the top of them. I’ll try to work on those on vacation too. ;)
I love the socks! I’ve been itching to get my hands on some Koigu, but it’s just not easily available where I am. Love the colours, though.
YOur snowmen move me to go dig out the long-abandoned tiger in the jungle cross stitch I’ve had hanging around since I started dating my now-husband. Hmmmm…. wonder if all knitters have these cross stitch albatrosses hanging around!
I never had the patience for it but it looks beautiful! Excellent job!
