I decided, finally, the I would just go ahead and focus on Frosty Knot Garden in February and not feel guilty about any other projects I had waiting so forlornly in my projects basket. I’m pleased I did, I really made good progress on it this month! It’s a very enjoyable stitch. At this point it is still all symmetrical […]
I’ve really been enjoying Frosty Knotgarden! Here it is after another week of stitching: I also made up the Mill Hill snowflake I mentioned. There is very little to this one so it was basically a 3 session project for me. It needs trimming and the felt back. I’ve also been doing some “secret stitching” which will be revealed at […]
I wanted to share with you my progress on Frosty Knotgarden. I took it from here: To here: It’s coming along pretty well. Whenever my kids have a big project like learning a new piano song or something for school I always ask, “How would you eat an elephant?” The answer is “one bite at a time.” So I am […]

In fact there are 2 shades of white. I’m not sure how necessary that was for the integrity of the design! Ah, well maybe it will be richer in the […]
I am loving the Chatelaine Frosty Knot Garden. This weekend my husband and I watched The Hobbit. The Extended Edition. That thing is nearly 9 hours long. I liked the movie but I do not like watching battle scenes and there were many battle scenes. So, I got a lot of stitching in! Here are my before, during, and after […]
I rang in 2019 with a big new start, my very first Chatelaine, Frosty Knot Garden!! Here is today’s work. It is so pretty with nice winter-y colors and the Petite Treasure Braid is SO sparkly and fun and I’m pleased with how quickly it’s moved along today!! I feel like I made a lot of progress in one day! […]
