RSN Essential guides...
Posted on
Had a photography session for my Silk Shading book at Search Press this week and I am excited to show you some work but I will have to be patient! In the meantime, the first two books in the series are almost ready to leave the shelves:
The RSN Essential Stitch Guide - Crewel Work


The RSN Essential Stitch Guide - Blackwork


They will be lanched in October at the Knitting and Stitching shows, so if you going you can be the first to buy a copy!

I was tidying up my work area as I do occasionally, and I put eight pairs of scissors into a scissor block meant for 3 pairs! You will always help yourself if you have the right tools for the job, and scissors are one of those important but often overlooked tools of the needleworker.
will be great! Thankyou Jean for this great idea: To make the following doll project and then all swap dolls! Like artists trading cards but with dolls...they will be artist trading pegs then...
I was just updating my peg doll blog with an image of some dolls that arrived on my doorstep this morning (in the post not under their own steam!) I have been recently writing the colour section for the silk shading book and noticed that I, completely subconsciously, arranged the dolls in a rough colour wheel order! There was no thought about it, I took them out of the box and laid them out for a quick photo. I like little moments like that!
ked very hard today, I started stitching at 8.30 and stopped at 6.30. I've nearly finished all of the silk shading projects for the book now, and noticed how many different colours are going to be in it!
