WIP update

 Todays been mainly housework, washing, sorting out the stuff from the van but I did get to finish a jacob yarn hat that I cast on sometime last week.

This together with yesterdays stitching

and tonight's new hat cast on

is pretty much all I've worked on since we got back.

back to the stitching

 Back in 2021, Jacob from Modern Folk Embroidery started Black Sampler month in Novevember, simply start to stitch a black sampler during the month, which I did.

Needless to say, the progress has been slow but yesterday afternoon (2 November) I started to go through the cross stitch basket and decided that it may as well get finished this Novermber.

I did take it with me on our last trip in September and there is less than 25% to complete. I spent some time stitching yesterday and will have it as my ongoing project for the next few days to give my wrist ( old injury flare up) a rest from the knitting.

Edit.. just to add that the pattern is from the gift of stitching magazine, June 2008. I purchased the complete set of magazines on a dvd  a couple of years ago for about £25 for the full 72 issues.
