Rediscovering Molly

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.

  1. Very cute! I love the idea of boys to match the girls, especially since I have boys!

  2. Molly 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.

  3. She'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!

  4. I 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!
