Last Thursday I attended a stitching/embroidery café for the first time. The meeting was improvised by blogger Elin and has quickly gathered an enthusiatic crowd of people, who have perhaps felt a little left out by all the knitting cafés going on around Sweden.
I brought a small project along, a little square in red wool/cotton. My plan was to do a little doodle-like picture inspired by a Japanese stitching book I recently bought. But I can't say that I was particularly happy with the result. It's been such a long time since I used a thread and needle, the stitches were all uneven and sort of insecure.
I suppose I need to practice more.
In other news, Sticka! is holding a wonderful knitalong this holiday! Hop on over to their blog and read about Stjärnhop, the two-colour shawl inspired by Pinneguri's Mrs Barista shawl. And with Google translator it looks like this.
