A stitch with a twist

I went on a course last week 
and I  learnt a few things
 well a lot actually...
so much easier than trying to teach myself from a book!
 The 'Stitchin' day was based around the work of Léa Stansal
 check out the links here and here
(traslation available)
 now I find myself staying up all hours of the night...
watching mindless TV and stitching
like I need this in my schedule right now
kid's summer hols just around the corner...

Stilton and Les Marten

if only she'd read the instructions...
cut one it said
cut one, reverse one
not cut two, reverse two...
 ah...
therein lies the problem...
 show off!
you, with your name on your head
and your fancy tail...
 come on Dearie, best foot forward
 into the garden we go...
