    It's been fun watching your video again Tina 😀I really enjoy seeing your progress on the "Taro for stitchers" project, as of course I like seeing the rest of your projects too 😛 I forgot how good your, "Between the pines" project, looks and I love your crochet blanket, it looks very cozy. Also I love how your vanilla socks turn out with the stripes🧦 Enjoy your crafting and I hope to see you soon again 🥰🧵🪡🧶

    You made wonderful choice of frames for your beautiful finishes. I especially love your he shabby chic one. Sn’y wait to see them all framed up. The granny square blanket is so beautiful. Love all the mixed colors. I have never wanted to knit socks before. All of those DP needles is so chaotic and I never really was interested in doing the multiple cable needles. But I do have tiny needles like yours and maybe, just maybe I will knit a pair of socks some day. I did make a pair of fingerless mitts with them and did enjoy knitting with tiny needles. Anyway, I enjoyed your video.

    Lovely to see you Tina, sorry you have been unwell, you have been missed, I do hope you’re feeling a lot better now. Beautiful stitching, I did so much cross stitch from small to x large and I am all stitched out now! So really only knit, but like you say, always have to have something on the go, keep the hands busy 😊 I am making socks as usual, same ones you taught me 😊 but I like to do rib ones now to change it up a bit. Hope to see you again soon, take good care of yourself, Big Hugs, Suze. 🤗🤗🤗

    Lovely to catch up with you. Sorry to hear you've not been well. You have a lot of patience and good eyes to do all that cross stitch. Your crochet blanket looks very colourful, I have a stripey one on the go and I agree it's very cosy having it on my lap when working on it. There's no point keeping things we've made and don't wear, much better to unravel it and re-use it. The yarn looks nicer stripey too. X

    I love your frame choices for your cross stitch pieces. Simple and elegant, and each one enhances the stitched piece. For the dark green project I was thinking you might choose a medium brown wood frame until I saw that you chose the metallic for that one as well. It really highlights the light stitching in the center of the piece. Brilliant!!

    • @Simplyinstitches
      @Simplyinstitches  3 місяці тому

    Great decision to reuse the yarn for something else!!! I have many items that I've knitted but I can't wear. I pulled in my daughter to model just to make it look good enough to share. I eventually unraveled the wool. I also paid 99$ US for a butterfly shawl kit only to find the vibrant colours pictured were once again yarn in dead colors for me . (light seaweed green, mustard yellow, burnt orange .....that in the photos looked vibrant like coral , the green in the photo look more forest green like in your cross stitch and missing were the deep burgundies ) I am also thinking perhaps made into something different perhaps the colours might look different and given to the first person who says....... oh, love those colours lol !!!!!

    Hi Tina. Tarot cross stitch is such an unusual theme, I love it! Good to see knitting needles out again 😀. I’ve just finished shortie socks for summer using Kingcole Simply Footsie, ( its name must surely be calling you! ) really recommend, so lovely to knit with, soft and no fluff. Thinking they’ll be just right inside trainers if it ever gets warm enough. Made 2 pairs from 1 x 100g ball so very economical too. Sorry you’ve not been well & hope you soon feel better. Take care ❤️

    • @Simplyinstitches

    Lovely frame choices, Tina. The pines frame makes the whole piece glow. Do you plan where to use the variegated floss for the Templars piece? Love the way the red undulates across the piece. My best to you and Vixen.

    • @Simplyinstitches
      @Simplyinstitches  3 місяці тому

      It's all DMC 115 . Sometimes I choose where to use the lightest or darkest parts but on large areas I use 1 thread folded double to soften the variation to avoid blocks of colour. Basically making it up as I go along 😁

    • @Lyn-ht2gk
      @Lyn-ht2gk 3 місяці тому

      Oh, fold to blend, yes. Thanks for the tip. You have a great eye for color and composition - like in balancing the play of light and dark here and zhuzshing the tarot colors for more interest and cheeriness.

    Hi Tina, when you frame cross stitch how do you stretch the fabric inside? Do you lace it or use double sided tape? Not sure of best way to do it? Thanks!

    • @Simplyinstitches
      @Simplyinstitches  3 місяці тому +1

      My favorite way is to pin it around the edge . Being a nervous framer I like that it's completely reversible. Small projects often just have the glue gun though 😊
