Well, March seems to have slipped by... We have had a busy time, including Luke's 16th(!) birthday (he's going to take his driving learners permit test tomorrow), our Tasmania trip, our 20th wedding anniversary, and our long weekend trip away for Easter. It's currently school holidays and just the perfect Autumn weather-mild, sunny days and cool, crisp evenings with the wood fire. I'll do some other posts with holiday pictures another day, but for now will just do some craft updating.
Here's the socks I finished earlier in the year-finally a photo! The pattern I used is a free one from Ravelry called Charade, using a self striping yarn from Spotlight, I think.
I took The Bramble and the Rose with me to Tasmania, and did work on it a little as well as when I got home.
I've also made a little bit of progress on the Wiehenburg Mystery Quaker Sampler:
Here's my few hexie flowers-I do have lots of hexagons ready to sew though so I hope to get more done on those soon too.
I also got some (not many) into my Chatelaine's Medieval Town Mandala-I really need to get stuck into these leaves and gates so I can get to the next, less fiddly part!
I have also started a pair of socks for Luke-they were ideal car/plane knitting while we've been travelling. I've finished the leg and heel flap on the first sock so far-no pictures though.
I've got a new start planned-it's Lizzie*Kate's Less=More sampler and as it comes out in parts it's a kind of monthly stitch-a-long. I'm using Butter Creme 32ct Lugana from Stitches and Spice and Naomi will send me new patterns each month. Here's the fabric, first pattern, and most of the threads (a couple are on backorder).

Good progress and variety.
The Mandala looks absolutely great. I also once started one of these but then it has become my oldest UFO. But you don't seem to be in danger to put it away and forget about it, lol.
Very nice progress on your other stitching, too.
Tolle Sachen hast Du gemacht. Ich liebe die Stickerei.
Liebe Grüße Grit
