BBD...stitch along

thank you always for all your kind and encouraging comments

I was invited to join Nadia and her fellow stitchers
for a BBD  SAL (blackbird designs stitch along)
So that is a fun weekly motivator:
I have chosen a small sampler as my first project:
not much
progress yet...
















...but it is
an enjoyable
stitch.
choosing from
colors that I have
here at home.








also attempting to knit my first pair of socks-

















and made a small token of thanks for Paula for the gift of her sweet prize:



i know i need to add everyone in thee BBD SAL as a list to my post
but that will probably be next week...til then see Nadia's blog  for all participants and their talents.....
I need to figure out how to save that list as permanent link
but it is time for sleep now.....

thanks for stopping by

  18. A BBD SAL is always a great thing. I joined two in the past and it was always a fun stitch. I love your choice, it's a lovely design and your made some nice progress on it.

  19. Oh!! I love your sock yarn. That k2,p2 ribbing is my favorite for socks. They're much less likely to "slouch" with that. And I notice that you're using wooden or bamboo needles. That's the only way to go as far as I'm concerned.

    Your little gift to Paula is darling. You wouldn't consider doing a little tutorial for it would you. It's so sweet!

  20. Corinna, Thanks so much! I thought it looked like the base was from an altoid container. I can't wait to make one:)
