Tropical Flowers V – More Progress

I spent the morning working on this wall hanging again. Finished Anthurium 1 – adding the white and finishing the pistil:

Anthurium 1 Done

Completed Anthurium 2 as well, then began work on the Epiphyllum. I’ve started to stitch in the darker grey with the mid-plum/pink colour; the lighter grey will be a soft pink, finishing with a slightly pink white.

Anthurium 2 Done; Started on Epiphyllum

There’s a second Epiphyllum that’s printed in pinks – the colour choices for that flower are straight forward.

Then, I want to get to the two large green leaves – they’ll be fairly easy to stitch and then it will feel like I’m close to home although those frangipani clusters will take quite a bit of time because they’re small and each stitch run will be short which means a lot of twisting and turning while I’m sewing.

However I’m beginning to see an end to this project – although not likely by the date I’ve set up for the last class meeting day in early March.

Blue Socks

Blue Socks

Finished these blue socks last evening. They may end up in my sock drawer. I like the way the variegation worked out – the staggared blue line separating colour sections makes the design quite lively.

I’ve already started the next pair – this new pair from the stash of leftover yarn from other socks – there’s lots of it in the leftover basket….
