This is what I have on the go at the moment - you will note that it is a Rosenstand kit. I have actually been neglecting it for ages, but this illness has made me want to do something needing less energy than knitting, so out came the embroidery. I have to have something in my hands when I sit down. It is what kept me sane during the years, not so long ago, when I had a problem which made me unable to knit. And that sorry story can wait for another day.Knititch, I am not at all disappointed that Vivienne won the book - she is a good daughter, and I know that next time she comes to visit she will bring the book and I can have a look at it. We have a lot of books between us that belong in the house of whichever one is using at the moment. It is wonderful to be able to share my obsessions with a daughter - the same way as I was able to share with my mother. Sadly, my other daughter has never shown any sign of wanting to play with fabric and yarn, although perhaps that is not such a bad thing; it might just all get far too competitive!
