I recently dug Molly of Carriage House Samplings out of the never ending WIP pile. I am really enjoying the stitching and wondering why I have let her lapse for so long. I want to eventually stitch all of the CHS "girls." I finished Mary Margaret several years ago. I ordered the remaining NPIs that I need to start stitching Elizabeth right after I finish Molly. Suzannah is my least favorite, but I still want to stitch her to complete the set. I envision these hanging on my wall in window pane fashion. If only I could talk Kathy Barrick into coming out of retirement and designing a boy preferably with a dog to match Molly's cat. Lol!
My stitching mojo has ebbed and flowed since I learned to knit last summer. I try not to stress over the fact that there are tons of things that I want to stitch and the fact that I don't always have the desire to stitch. Rather I just go with the flow when the stitching notion strikes. I am enjoying the current wave and hope it continues for awhile. Stitching was my first love. I hope the mojo never leaves completely.
Very cute! I love the idea of boys to match the girls, especially since I have boys!
ReplyDeleteMolly looks great! Nice progress. I need to dig my Elizabeth out. I totally agree about the boy--oh, how I wish! I hope you don't lose your stitching mojo, too. I have drifted into other hobbies and always come back to it. I think you should enjoy what makes you happy and if knitting is the thing for you right now--enjoy--stitching will always be there.
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful! I hope you do finish all the girls. They would look great together! As for knitting versus stitching -- hey, you should definitely just enjoy whichever strikes your fancy. Knitting is something I'd like to get back to sometime too. And quilting, and crochet and.... lol!
ReplyDeleteI face the same dilemma, having rediscovered my love of knitting several years ago, in a BIG way! I stitched exclusively for about 6 months this year, am know knitting for awhile. Decisions, decisions! Love your Molly!
