I'm not sure if it is coincidence or not but since I am stitching with silk threads, I find that my hands get very dry. I don't have this problem with DMC. Has anyone else experienced this?

I missed last Wednesday's night in Needlecraft Haven's Parlour but I managed to set aside some time for CNN's 'Silent Night' at the weekend. I finished the two smaller trees and added the snowflakes. Tonight I plan to start stitching the church.

Wow you made great progress on Alpine Seasons!
ReplyDeleteI haven't used any silk thread for a while so can't comment on the question of dry hands, although i have noticed that with certain yarns when knitting my hands are dry.
Enjoy your parlour knitting tonight x
Beautiful stitching Mary
ReplyDeleteAlpine Seasons just keeps getting prettier and prettier, Mary! Hope you enjoy the rest of September :)
ReplyDeleteAlpine Seasons is stunning Mary, well done.
ReplyDeleteSo great to see your progress on Alpine Seasons. Your needles must be really smoking, lol. This is my favorite among Chatelaine's mandalas and gardens, so I love seeing it grow here on your blog.
