I don’t think I knit a stitch all week! I have made progress on the Fancey Blackett piece, though.
I’ve finished the top section, and the dividing border is done except for a stitch in the center of each of those motifs. One crow atop a pumpkin is stitched in the bottom section, and I’m currently working on cornstalks. I had to undo/redo some stitching last night… “counted” is the operative word for this type of work. heh. There will be five of those altogether, along with another crow atop a pumpkin, and a swirl of stitches to tie it all together. Stitching ought to be done in plenty of time to make it into something for Halloween!
We had a doozy of a thunderstorm roll through last night — power was out for a few hours (I still have an electric alarm clock, so blink*blink*blink when it came back on) — and it was overcast this morning when I took photos, but even without the clouds, the hours of daylight are getting noticeably shorter.

I know I’ve said it before, but those dancing witches and (giant) squirrels are my favorites; the bat and owls are also looking good!
This is just so fun, Vicki! I am chuckling at those dancing squirrels too! Not much knitting happening here either… but I did get my Gnome done! Woo!
I LOVE that sampler, Vicki! You are so close to finishing it up (and I am here for it!). We had incredible storms yesterday (a couple of them rolled in — once in the afternoon, and then again last night). Luckily, we didn’t lose our power (either here up north – where we are this week – or down in Kalamazoo). We’ve had so many thunderstorms this summer!!!
I’m just delighted to see your continued progress on this piece! The “related posts” at the bottom show three snapshots of the project since last October … and it just keeps getting better. and I wish you and Kym could send some of those storms our way. We need rain and a short break from electricity would be good for our record-setting power bills, too (“short” being key here!)
