As we have had a few days of reasonable weather, I washed the skeins of Ryeland and Texel together with the latest mitts. The pattern works well with the slightly thicker rustic yarns.
The brown mitts (shetland) do not have the same feel even though the thickness is very similar.
The others are a mix of ryeland, portland, black welsh mountain, all fleeces that I really like to spin. The two skeins washed up beautifully.
On the stitching front, I've been working on the two red pieces, the French one has another motif or so in it.
And I've made a little more progress on the Friends and Family Quaker SAL 2020 (didn't start it until end of June 2021)
I will admit to looking for my next project and may have found it.
I think that this may be a serious challenge !! I bought the DVD of the complete magazine collection with some birthday money and this one really appeals. The picture is of the original from 1816 and it has been re-charted but I just love the motifs. Its big and it may be next year before I get round to finding the fabric and treads but it is very much on my wish list.

All those beautiful mitts! You have been busy. Your stitching projects are so elegant. I can't believe how much progress you are making. That first one would take me the rest of my life.
Those little mitts look lovely as does your cross stitch. I have not done any stitching for ages. Must get on with it.
