Waiting With MrG

As I wait for my thread I am continuing the hankie border. I really love the unusual colours I have picked!

No photo of progress, but one of MrG, who just has stolen my spot and is seriously studying his new interest!

Also, my dear friend Suneeti sent me this:

I think I already posted about it, but to reiterate, I must tell you how wonderful a product this is for split fingertips or cuticles. Marvellous stuff. Suneeti rocks! : ))

New Plan

I'm not one for Easter Eggy colours, so ... 

Now using #80 Lizbeth ...is this fuscia? It's a bit unusual, but I like the combo, as there is lilac and a purpley-blue in Lea's thread (#50).I think there will be sufficient.

Working with both threads, (both different sizes) I really notice the inferior quality of the Lizbeth. Luckily I have so little of it left!

The Waiting Game

How long will it take the thread to arrive from Australia? I guess about two weeks. Bets?

I did manage to complete the round without running out, which is very lucky! Now I'm playing the same  dangerous game, as I've begun a border on another of my hankie gifts. This one is for me.

The thread is Karey's, #70, a freebie, (thank you, Lea!) combined with a #80 Lizbeth, so I don't - hopefully - run out! The pattern is Karey's.

At the Mercy of the Post

Seven and a half inches and waiting for mail. Lea has put the thread in the post. She was so accommodating; she got it in the mail within hours of purchase! Thank you, Lea!

In the meantime,I cleaned up my stash - 98% #80. However, I am enjoying the #50 so much, that I have ordered another skein as well. Luxury!
