Huck Embroidery - tea towel

Hi to all.
Thank you so much for your kind comments on the dress and the purse!
They both were fun to make.
Really, do visit Ellen, I like the kind of patterns and bags she proposes (but I'm not commisionned by her :-)).

Regarding the dress, it was funny, because Pochee is all Japanese. So it was a bit like a game. Seams included or not? Where does the 85 cm strip go? and the 65 cm one? etc...
Anyhow, it is a great dress, perfect for the present heat, as it is very airy. But the pattern will be great in winter too, over a thicker sweater.

Yesterday was one of those days where I just wanted to veg in front of the TV, watching silly US series :-). But it need something to keep me busy, otherwise I'm fast asleep after 5 mn, and for the whole afternoon.
I bought recently a Huck Embroidery kit by Avery Hill Designs, from Nordic Needle. It was the perfect project for a lazy warm afternoon. Here it is. The embroidery itself took me one lazy afternoon, really, and I sew the hems tonight.
You may want to have a look at Pin Tangle. Sharon has posted this weekend about Pattern Darning. I haven't read it thoroughly yet, but I will, and I guess it is worth the visit!

Oh, my! Huck embroidery (called "Swedish Weaving" when I learned it) was my very first handcraft! Great as a kid's first, because it is all on top, it's easy to get the hang of proper tension, and it goes quickly! It's been decades since I've done any. Hmmmm... I shall have to dig out my books again!

i have about 3 viruses that are complete pain in the asses and i have been trying to get rid of them in vain for about 2 weeks. i really dont want to deal with it anymore so i was wondering how to do that operation where the computer is set back to its original factory settings and the hard drive is competely cleaned. my dad has been saying something about needing a disk to do this but im pretty sure ive seen my brother reset his computer without it. also, should doing this completely get rid of the viruses? thanks in advance [url=http://gordoarsnaui.com]santoramaa[/url]

hi friends. I'm honestly into shoes and I have been looking for the sake of that singular make. The prices as regards the sneakers were approximately 330 bucks everwhere. But definitively I base this site selling them for half price. I absolutely want these [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]prada sneakers[/url]. I will probably purchase these. what is your opinion?
