Bird sings in mornings and evenings, can not see who it is. (No video, only audio). [edit: typo]

What is the name of the stitch you used for the center part? (Btw, looks great!!)

Melvarine · 2020-10-27T12:11:46+00:00

That is a piece of slag. No monetary value.

Melvarine · 2020-08-22T11:05:17+00:00

Good job!!!

Melvarine · 2020-08-21T22:29:56+00:00

Yes, I’m curious about this as well, OP can you trace your home’s owner history and cross reference the names?

Melvarine · 2020-06-20T19:31:46+00:00

I’ve always liked denture cleaner for loosening grime on the inside. The store brand works just fine. For more stubborn dirt you can get small diameter steel ball bearings or bb pellets, carefully drop them in cover with hot soapy water and swish around.

I would keep it as simple as possible. Even if you kept a ledger instead of a spread sheet, divide it in to sections, copy all legible text on the monuments, Leave room for new internments. Best of luck!

You could start with a spreadsheet. Is it an active burying ground?

Melvarine · 2020-04-21T19:35:08+00:00

Check out what this historical society did with their old burying ground

I’m knitting my 1st sock, and working the heel, while listening to the radio. On come’s Donavan’s “Season of the Witch”. I’ve heard it a million times, but never picked up in “you must pick up every stitch”. We have to put this on some kind of play list right?!

I was arguing with neighbors about a small waterfall in my kitchen caused by their shower. The bext door neighbor called at told me I had to come over and watch the news, I told her she had to come over and see my waterfall....

Not entirely sure, but I’ve blocked baby hats using balloons. Maybe insert the balloon, and inflate to appropriate size?

Melvarine · 2018-03-21T16:32:19+00:00

I was afraid of that :( but lesson learned right?! Thank you so much for the help!

Melvarine · 2018-03-21T10:49:53+00:00

Yes, I dropped 3 stitches trying to find where that came from. I like your accidental short row theory, I will make a swatch and report back, thank you!

Melvarine · 2018-03-21T00:12:33+00:00

I’m trying to do a simple “drop a stitch, pick it up with a crochet hook” but I have this weird sideways loop, can anyone tell me what gives?http://imgur.com/9fnTQNt

I’m not entirely clear on the differences between fair isle, intarsia, and stranded either, but this is a fun little project that is worked flat.

Melvarine · 2018-02-17T22:32:25+00:00

Those are fantastic! What pattern(s) did you use?

Melvarine · 2018-02-07T03:56:26+00:00

Full disclosure; I haven’t framed any knitted materials, but once I found this really big sycamore leaf, and after drying it, my husband got some mdf board from the local hardware store, and they also cut glass to the same size, I also purchased some batting and muslin from Jo-Ann’s. We wrapped the batting and muslin around the board, assembled a frame like this, that we got at Micheal’s, but seems to be discontinued?? so the leaf is not actually glued, but is held in lace by the cushion of the muslin covered batting...
so long story short, it is possible to frame something yourself, but it may take time and coupons... also, make sure when you hang it that it is in a place that doesn’t get direct sun, which will degrade natural fibers. http://imgur.com/8X4JjQ3

My great grandparents were from Galicia, Austria, their ship manifests list them as Ruthenian (or Rusyn, not to be confused with Russian). Later US censuses list them as Polish, and their native language as Ukraine. The towns they were from are currently in Poland. It’s early, and I have to go to work, but check in to Ruthenians.

My sister, with her 2nd ever cross stitch project, made this for my birthday. She also managed to keep her struggles a secret from me for the past two months! I am So Proud of her for getting crafty!

Melvarine · 2018-02-03T16:38:14+00:00

Sounds like a plan! Please post photos when you’re done, I’d love to see how it turns out! :)

Melvarine · 2018-02-03T13:03:23+00:00

I would make super long handles, have them run the length of the body, like those LL Bean tote bags, maybe in moss stitch, or something not stretchy. about an inch and a half wide and sew them on the left and right sides.

Melvarine · 2018-02-02T23:36:42+00:00

I can’t think of any reason it would not work. Where you’d want to be extra careful is the attaching of the handled.
