Parade Day

Ask anyone who knows my stitching habits, and they will tell you that I LOVE French knots. I don't know why. Maybe it's because my mom can't make one to save herself, and she told me they were really difficult and I'd probably never master them. Yeah, she said that. Of course she's the same mom who told me I'd probably fail my driver's test at least once or twice. Which I passed with flying colours the first time, by the way.....

Anyhoo, I managed to find a few minutes this week to fit some stitching in, and yes, it's French knots! I absolutely love the steel grey floss against white. To me it's a very sophisticated combination, which generally I'm not very....haha....

Now it's your turn!!

I just ask a few things of you:

1. link only projects with some handstitching
2. link to a specific post
3. use the linky party button (found in my sidebar) in your post, so others can easily find the party and join in
4. visit other Handmade Parade partiers, because everyone likes comments :-)
.....and go!

  1. Your French Knots are gorgeous!

    I have finally gotten my blog up and running. I was hoping to stick your button in my sidebar, but the code in your sidebar doesn't seem to be working right.

    Thanks for hosting my favorite weekly parade of the week!

  3. I can't seem to get the hang of french knots at all. The knot part just never seems to quite happen! Yours are gorgeous!

  5. Sounds like your mother is as supportive and encouraging as mine :)

    Great knots. And yes, to the colour combo.

    No sewing for me again this week. Sigh.
