Progress on the skinny stocking

It's been a while since I showed you a photo of my Sampler Stocking, so here it is in all its skinny glory. Such great colours...


My favourite bit so far is the bird. It's supposed to have a big red eye, but I thought that was spooky so I made the eye smaller and left it plain.


And here are the lord and lady - waiting for some grass to stand on.


All rather crumpled as usual - I really do hate ironing!

  1. It looks great, Nicki! I think we're at about the same spot, though I haven't worked on mine in several months. It's such a fun design. Have a great weekend!

  3. This is very pretty! There is a certain beauty that stitched birds have - I love them. The Lord and Lady are nice too!

  4. Looks great! I'm trying to imagine a big red eye on the bird, and just can't imagine it looking right. I think it was a good idea to make the changes you did.
    Ironing? Isn't that for after you've washed the piece at the end and not before? ;)

  9. Nicki - it looks fantastic! Now I know that I have to do this one soon. It just takes great pictures like this (and great stitching) to throw me over the edge! And hold the ironing until later - why iron more than once!

    I also love your progress on Moon Garden in your last post. Great project as well.

  17. I'd have to agree with you with the colours of the stocking, they're really scrummy! I have to admit it, I think red is quickly firming itself up as my 2nd favourite colour in stitching, I just love the richness of it :D
