My math was off (there's a shock!), so that the picture-frame mat I'm using to hold the Anna Ohman sampler is just not quite big enough at the top and bottom for me to work the whole thing. I had just removed it from the frame when I took this photo yesterday, before turning it sideways. As ever, I'm really delighted with this sampler, and find it very satisfying in spite of my mistakes. (Discovered late last night that what I'd planned would be a Golden-Spike moment with the two sides of the top line meeting in the middle, was off by one stitch, so I had to pick out the wrong half and re-do it. Now it's more Lewis-and-Clark.)
I'm also auditioning some crochet snowflakes for a gift exchange next month. I like both of these, but am thinking that finer thread might be prettier --
Absolutely beautiful sampler, there is something very calming about looking at a single colour piece and then you can really enjoy the design and the detail, so pretty. Loving your snowflakes too
