Glove progress


This is what I got done last night. After really examining a picture of detached buttonhole stitch I realized that I made a mistake. At the point where the color changes, I started a new backstitch line under the completed bhs part and began again. I should have just continued on with the loops already there. DUH!! Leave it to me to find a harder way to do it and then really go for it!! LOL! Well that is what happens when you are learning from a book, and don't have any real life examples before you! I am not going to rip it out now, this is a good practice piece before I start my beloved Golden Age sampler! I am truly loving this though!

Her Majesty's Glove


This is another design by Sharon Cohen of Nostalgic Needle. I started working on this and MAN! is it hard! I have completed 2 petals in the main flower and the trellis stitch middle part. My first petal looks horrible, but my second one is starting to look right. It was really hard to figure it out exactly, but now that I have the knotting right its coming along. Practice will definitely make perfect. I'm out of batteries for a pic, but I'm going out later today so I will get some and get a piccie of my progress up here as soon as possible.
