I then pinned all the pieces into place to create this framed piece. It is on binca and I will put some more chicken scratch in the corners when I have bought the appropriate threads. The framing is done using ribbon and I have a few ideas for decorating this too.
I will machine stitch all the pieces into place when I get out the sewing machine(that's three items in the queue waiting for the machine).
Last night and this evening I did some more knitting on D's jumper. The front is complete and the back has been done to the start of the pattern.
This is a great piece to do when I don't want to concentrate too much on anything. A relaxing knit!

I absolutely adore your knitting. It would take me ten years to do what you do!! And when I have attempted it...the sweaters I make for myself NEVER fit me when they are done!!! Perhaps someday I will learn the secrets.

Loving the Chicken scratch.... and your knitting looks so good.
Chicken scratch is the technique that we are doing as a challenge for January 2009. It's SharonB's challenge called "Stitch Explorer 2009". I've played around with it on my blog and you can see some other examples on the chicken scratch flickr site.
