I finished pattern 5 of the Steotchalong and Izzy doesn't care one bit 💤 #steotchalong #steotchalong9 #stitchsky #crossstitch
In the background a sleeping cat on a blanket on the couch. In the foreground an embroidery hoop with white easy count aida, colourful flowers around most of the borders and text in dark navy saying 'what', 'wtf', 🤷🏻‍♀️ and 'now'

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot
Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

White grodded 16ct aida with colourful flowers around the borders and in dark navy 'uhh', the shrug guy and 'um'.

What are you stitching? - Uhh 🤷🏻‍♀️ #steotchalong9 #stitchsky #crossstitch #stitchalong
White easy count (hah, still hard!) aida with several flowerlike motifs crossstitched around the border and in the middle in green, purple, red, yellow and blue and 'uhh' and the shrug guy in dark navy above that.

Erg blij met de nieuwe Garmin update. Nu kan ik ook indoor skiën vanuit bed!

Finished #steotchalong pattern 1 and I love it. Absolutely no idea what the flowers and the shrug guy are going to become (probably not flowers and the shrug guy 😉). #steotchalong9 #stitchsky
Gridded white aida with on the top half a few flower like patterns in yellow, dark red and turquoise and the 'shrug guy' in navy, slightly left of the middle.

Do you know that feeling that you're stuck knitting the body in endless rounds of rib? You look around & order yarn for a new project even though you're on a yarn buying ban. It will take some time to get to you, but you don't mind because you now don't want to stop working on the endless project...
Cat Izzy just falls asleep when thinking of the amount of ribbing that still needs to be worked up for the Bedruthan camisole knit in Knitting for olive pure silk in the colour way hokkaido (orange). It's going to be gorgeous when it's done though!

Wanted to post a picture of the Pride Besties SAL when I fully FFOd it, but that could take a loooong time. So here it is, only washed the markings off.
White aida easy count with four cross stitched animal friends (cow, frog, dolphin and worm) with pride coloured flower crowns and leg warmers. There's rainbow coloured confetti all around them.

My xmas in july project is Trashing in the snow by @needlelotdesigns.bsky.social Forgot how much it is working on this one!
Gridded watercolour aida with the beginnings of the first letters of 'trashing through the snow', a first snowflake, a bin bag with a candy cane sticking out and parts of an opossom in a green sleigh.

It feels like I'm stitching Ricky's ghost 😁 #twigsandteaSAL #stitchsky
Variegated brown Aida cloth with several frames and other things cross stitched on it. In the middle frame a light grey outline with eyes and black nose starts to appear to form Ricky the Raccoon when I'm done stitching.

Just finished clue 2 of the #twigsandteaSAL and actually I'm a bit sad I have to wait for a whole week before I can pick it up again. Excited to see what's coming next!
Gridded Aida fabric with several cross stitched frames. At the bottom left frame we see Lucy the goose and at the bottom two blue chairs on either side of a table with checked table cloth
