Hot and Cold
February 02, 2017
It is so hot here I am dreaming about winter. In winter I normally dream about summer. I just wish I could have my old summer and winter back again. These extremes are driving me crazy. I have bookmarked a whole lot of knitting I would like to start and then got to thinking about a winter coat. I don't need a heavy winter coat, it rarely gets very cold but a light woolen one would be suitable, and I thought some embroidery on it might be nice.
Onto the internet to see what I could find starting with my favourite designers one of whom is Gudrun Sjoden. (I remember when I first found her shop in Denmark, I didn't want to leave.) These designs have been machine stitched but I think they would have been taken from traditional embroidery. I found them all on Pinterest.
I like the centre design the best. So it is time to hit the fabric shops and see what I can find. I will have to get started soon to have it ready for winter.
I thought that might have been the inspiration. And I rushed out and bought the wool fabric and my workroom is air-conditioned!!!
