Charlotte's Web: September 2003 Archives

Just a few quick pics of Charlotte in "going out" mode. I think she looks quite dashing over a black ensemble. For some reason, it's really the fringe that does it for me in terms of wearing her on the town factor. I didn't think of myself as a shawl person, but maybe I just needed to find the right shawl.

Last night I swatched for the project I want to do before I finish up the sweater.
I have to say that for once I am really glad that I swatched. The pattern isn't hard, but it took me a couple of repetitions to figure out some of the ins and outs of it.

This is the Indian Cross Stitch pattern as modeled in Koigu p201. The project I'm going to do uses p201 and p319 (which is a fabulous purply, orangey, yellowish, olivey mixture). I'm sure you can all guess what it is, but I'm going to remain silent for a few more days. Mom doesn't read my blog too often, but, of course, if I have something she shouldn't see on it, she'll be magically drawn to it. I've gotten through one set of crosses on the big project and all I can say so far is that 264 stitches is a lot of stitches. When I've got both colors worked in effectively, I'll post another shot.
