Last week on my knitting group Zoom I asked opinions on chain-stitching a line of duplicate stitch to fill in the missing barn wall sides. Up or down?

A couple of heads turned aside just a moment to inwardly picture how they do theirs.

Down, said Kathy.

Up, said Kim definitively.

So after tonight’s Zoom I decided I wanted to be able to say the best thank you, which would mean to have actually done it and I hadn’t yet.

So.

Down was a definite no-go for me.

Up did it nicely.

Barn wall sides, done.

I kept going. Duplicate-stitch leaves on the middle flower that hadn’t quite come out right, ripped out and redone.

Yarn ends woven in, done.

“Created with pride by” tag added, done.

Wait. There was just one other thing. It hit me: that’s what it had been missing all along. I had to go find that color yarn again, all put away because I was supposedly done with it.

My husband would like you to know that since it came from the coat of a sheep my moose is now officially giving you the hairy eyeball.

(IT’S DONE!!! Pictures when I have decent daytime lighting for them.)
