My first finish of 2018 is “Boughs of Holly” for the Christmas Ornies SAL<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our themes this year are “12 Days of Christmas” or “Christmas Carol of the Month.” I did Boughs of Holly for “Deck the Halls,” the January Carol. This is a kit from Victoria Sampler, part of the learning collection. This one, set 2 #3, is to learn French knots. I already know how to make French knots, but it is always good for a refresher in technique! I don’t hate French knots like many stitchers, probably because I have a lot of practice with them. When I was little I made an old Jiffy crewel kit of a carrot and cauliflower. The cauliflower was made of French knots. That was a lot of French knot practice!<\/p>\n

I was determined to finish off the Mill Hill Holiday Harmony series this year, here’s my violin:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And here is the whole set! Lovely!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For a super quick finish I also made the Mill Hill Aqua Crystal snowflake. I made it faster than I could blog about it. Here’s before beads:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With the first set of beads:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And finished this morning!<\/p>\n

May the rest of the week be as productive!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
