I have been busy working on the third bag and for this one I used up some left over variegated blue Perle #8 and stitched it in Sollersom - roughly based on the pattern in an Inspirations magazine. Yes, I do like it and am going to stitch another (with some variations) in some more left over Perle #8. Basically a whipped wave stitch, this is rather effective.
But I'm not going to have time to complete the bag this week as tomorrow I go into hospital to have my pacemaker lead replaced and stitching will have to go on hold for a day or two. I have stocked up on books on my iPad as well as going to the library for a good stock of reading material. I've finally been able to get my hands on the latest Elly Griffiths book, "The Postscript Murders" and have made a start. I was rather taken to read this on page 9
I've never thought of my Allbirds as expensive - perhaps that's because they are so comfortable. Between us the DBEM and I have several pair :) Today I wore Natural Black merino.
Well that's all from me at present. I shall be back soon, hopefully with some stitching to show.

You are prepared for your procedure! Nothing like books to transport you mentally and allow rest and recuperation of the body. Hope the pacemaker leads replacement goes well.
I hope the procedure goes well for you.
Elly Griffiths is quite local to us and my manager has met her several times. She got mistaken for her once which was rather flattering!
That blue stitch is gorgeous! Can't wait to see it finished. Hope all went well with your procedure.
