Stitching and knitting both!

I missed posting in June, but I do have two finishes to show off -- one a stitching finish and one a knitting finish.

First, hot off the needles, is my BR's Moth by Kathy Barrick.  I used the called for fabric and NPI silks. 


And here is my stitching finish -- Ghost Horses by Boyland Knitworks.  I used Spincycle yarns in Rusted Rainbow and Retrosaria Rosa Pomar Pegulhar Yarn in color 1.


I did lots of tidying and cleaning up in June, and for good reason.  We have a full house again, at least for now!  Both kid-lings are home!  Here they are cooking together.  (Of course, the father type and I had the same reaction -- we can't leave them alone to cook in the kitchen!  lolol!)


It's so nice to have them both home!   Even Mia seems to approve.  Her new favorite place is definitely the boy child's bedroom.


I hope everyone is staying safe during these times.  Happy 4th to everyone who celebrates it!

    Both pieces are perfectly worked, as always. Nice to see your cross stitch again.

    I'm sure you're enjoying the kids being home. Have a fun weekend!

    ghost horses is amazing - how did you like the spincycle? I visited a yarn shop (report in my blog) in GA last month and she had Spincycle - I wanted to buy things I had never seen or used before but I opted for the Farmers Daughter instead - I wasn't too sure about the "marled" yarn and what to do with the Spincycle. You've become quite the garment knitter my friend! love the moth - I had thought of purchasing that one when it came out but opted for the small quaker Kathy released at market instead. Like I need another quaker :) Kids home, wow I know you love that - enjoy
    Take care Mel

    Margaret: I find that all my friends are happy to have their children home again, and to have your two cooking together is wonderful, the noodles look yummy.
    Mia is adorable.
    Moth is a lovely design.
    Your sweater is beautiful.
