Last week I shared my vintage hexie trials - unstitching a hexie flower to get the seams to be more consistent. I was a little dismayed that it took me all week to get the outermost border of hexies stitched together. I was stitching for short periods of time every evening, but I still didn't finish until this afternoon. That's OK, most of the other hexie flowers have been stitched with an appropriate seam allowance, so I won't have to re-stitch ALL of them!
Have I mentioned the hexie flowers are 12 inches in diameter?
Some of my hand stitching time has also been taken up with this project: Nae, a shawl by Anat Rodan. I haven't done any knitting in about two years, but I saw this shawl on Pinterest and knew it was exactly the type of knitting I enjoy. It is a simple pattern, so I can knit while watching TV or listening to an Audiobook. I have a loooong way to go yet, but I'm very happy with the results thus far. It doesn't hurt that I found a wonderful yarn in my favorite color - purple!
It's been a slow Sunday in many ways and I've enjoyed every minute - especially the stitching! I'm linking up with the other slow stitchers over at Kathy's Quilts, and looking forward to enjoying everyone else's slow stitching as well!
That shawl looks lovely. Just finished a shawl and I need a new knitting project :)
