I am making progress on Round the Garden. This month's adventure included a lot of stitching fun. The pine tree next to the lighthouse in the pattern looked like it was stem stitch, but a closer look at the original in the magazine showed me that the designer had actually used another stitch. I decided to due laced herringbone. Part of the pleasure of this pattern is the room for one to do their own thing. I also decided to design a different lighthouse than the one in the original. I went looking for images of actual lighthouses using my browser. I found one that had diamonds with an anchor on it. Here is my rendition in wool of that lighthouse. I wanted to do something other that a tan lighthouse. I quite like it.
I love your version of a lighthouse. Lovely work.
