Hi Avital & everyone,
Lovely knitted shawl (love the color!) and very nice beginning to the
Unicorn tapestry cross-stitch! I'm with you as far as "compulsive
cross-stitching" is concerned since I love finely detailed charts. I
had a look at the Scarlet Quince website
(http://www.scarletquince.com/) last night and picked out 12 patterns I
liked. Then I had a long chat with myself and finally settled on
ordering two. (I must confess that despite having enough charts to open
a shop, my cross-stitching has taken a backseat to lace since I
discovered it some time ago...(-: Still, I can't resist a really
wonderful chart!) I love medieval designs too, and I too have been
fortunate to see a set of the Cluny unicorn tapestries, though the ones
I saw are at The Cloisters in upper Manhattan. I think The Cloisters
is such a perfect setting for their display and highly recommend
visiting to anyone who has the opportunity. I do hope to see the ones
in Paris someday as well. We ran out of time the last time I was
there, but that museum had been on my list.
For cross-stitchers on the list, Scarlet Quince has Vermeer's "The
Lacemaker" among its selections. Sorry to be a temptress and
facilitator! <vbg>
Vicki in Maryland where we are waiting for yet another snowstorm this
evening,,,more reason to stay indoors and make lace...(or do
cross-stitch...or knit???)
