Stitcher's Meme
Emily over at the Floss Box had this little meme on her blog while I was away. Emily does a lot of embroidery, which is my roots. I like to visit to see what she is up to; recently she's been working on the most adorable bunny series. If you're a biscornu stitcher, be sure to visit her pattern store. You can get, oh, 90 or so patterns for under $10.

French knots. I love French knots!So can I send you all of my projects that require french knots? ;) I have 2 WIPs (more like UFOs) that have been sitting for longer than I care to admit, all becasue I dread finishing the patches of french knots the patterns require. Mine don't come out very well. :(
On a similar note, have you ever tried one of those miniature knotted rug patterns? They are gorgeous!
Uh huh. Likes French knots. Is all kinds of crazy. Okay, gotcha. ;) I have to do colonial knots because I am French knot disabled. I enjoyed reading more about you!
