Last night my fingers needed something to do. I think I’ve been missing stitching, since finishing off the book. I went and found the old Hardanger runner I’ve had floating around my office since I discovered it, unfinished in a drawer last year. Until I’ve figured out what book I’m going to do next, this can keep my hands happy.<\/p>\n
When I found the runner last year, I didn’t remember it at all. This isn’t terribly surprising, because when I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome about 5 years ago, it wiped bits of my memory. So I wasn’t sure how old it was, just that it was definitely pre-CFS. It was obviously my work, and my design, because I practically never stitch anything that isn’t my design. I have too many ideas of my own to spend time working other people’s designs!<\/p>\n
The runner didn’t have a pattern with it, and there were some areas which I wasn’t really sure what I had planned for it. So this morning I started up my very, very old desktop computer to see if I could find the pattern on it. No such luck. It did seem though, that I had cleared out most of the files from the computer in preparation for decommissioning it. That meant that if the pattern still existed, it would be on my external hard drive.<\/p>\n
Bingo! With some searching, there it was, from way back in 2005! And with it were some other designs that would certainly be good to stitch. I now have confirmation that it was definitely my design, and I can now continue on, either with the pattern as planned or make some changes to it, as I see fit.<\/p>\n
It is lovely to be stitching again. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
