My new thread from Pamela arrived yesterday! I tried to be good and work on Christmas presents, but the call of the thread was too strong. That, and this super cold weather is making my left arm ache... honest, it really does ache from the cold weather! There was just no way I could crochet last night. Well, maybe I could have, but I wanted to play with my new thread. So my arm ached and I decided to wind my new thread on shuttles. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it! My arm feels so much better now! (wink, wink)
Of course once the thread was wound on the shuttles, I just had to make sure I had wound it properly! I'm sure Pamela and Reen can tell what I'm working on. Can you tell? I'll give you a hint... it's an old favorite of mine!
Love the thread but the shuttles are fascinating. I wonder if they would be good for tapestry?
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, What a lovely colorway Pamela has come up with. I'm looking forward to seeing your Spinning Wheel tatted in this thread. Interesting shuttles, who made them? Happy Holidays
ReplyDeleteThat's very pretty thread, & it looks great on the shuttles. I'm glad you decided to wind them & show us a sampling of it tatted up!
ReplyDeleteI do understand about the aching in cold weather. My DH asks me how my back feels, & when I say it hurts, he says, "Well, the weather person says we're in for a storm."
Ooh is that thread pretty! But it's gone, all gone! Wah! Yet another Spinning Wheel, I see. It will look beautiful in that thread. Can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteOh darn! they gave it away I NEVER would have guessed a spinning wheel!!
ReplyDeleteMy gosh your photo doesn't half make the thread look shiny!
Drat those dishcloths! who needs 'em!
Ps! what a lovely photo composition.
ReplyDeleteOh they called it out already. I know what it is though.
ReplyDeleteNow forget Christmas for a few hours and get on with using this this lovely cotton!
ReplyDeleteHi Diane! That thread is just beautiful, I can see how you'd want to play with it, especially with your arm too sore to do anything but! (wink, wink!) Hey we have to do a little fun stuff every day...make that a lot of fun stuff!!! Hugs, xoxo
ReplyDeleteDid I miss seeing this mystery motif completed? What a lovely HDT, I'm sorry I missed that one.
