Blackwork Chessboard
Sunday, September 15, 2013 Posted In 2013 Finishes Edit This 2 Comments »This design (or most if it) was in one of the mags, and I've been meaning to stitch it for a few years - even bought the pieces to go with it when I was in China three years ago. Have modified it a fair bit, and now I have finally finished it - with a little "help from my friends" aka support from fellow UFO night stitchers on ACN. Will try to finish it as the table top of a folding table when I work out how, or find a table that fits.

Whittled spoon

Well, this is kind of on the side of what I normally show on here, but I gave whittling a go this week and really enjoyed it. My granddad is really good at it and I want to learn from him now I think. So this is a spoon I made, I did it all from my imagination and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out (though I guess you can't see it all that well on the photo).
