This month I've been concentrating on my main craft projects:

Klimt's The Kiss



The flower rainbow



The back of the cotton top I'm knitting, using hydrangea coloured yarns

Wow! Looks like the Klimt is almost finished!

The flower rainbow is so pretty, and I love the way your top is dark at the bottom and gets lighter all the way up.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you - there's probably a couple more months work to be done on the Klimt, because the areas which look like one colour are two or three shades with a few stitches of each shade every time it takes a while to stitch.

I was really taken with the yarn when I saw the pack and knew I wanted to move from dark to light.

[badly_knitted]

Those fiddly bits drive me nuts, especially when the colours are so similar you can barely tell you used several shades. Good luck!

I've never seen a craft done by you that wasn't lovely, but your Klimt is SO stunning that I don't even have ENOUGH words to adequately praise it.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much - that's a lovely thing to say :)

I love them all and the flower rainbow is especially gorgeous!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. The flower rainbow was a present from a friend - I'm enjoying stitching it.

Wow! All of your main craft projects look AMAZING! As always, I'm blown away by the Klimt project, which just grows increasingly stunning and impressive! I'm also loving the flower rainbow and cotton top that has such beautiful colours! I'm looking forward to seeing how all these projects look when they're completed. :-D

[smallhobbit]

Thank you so much! I hope to finish the flower rainbow this month, the other two will take longer as I have other things which are currently taking priority.

I love seeing the progress of the Klimt! Perhaps when it's done you could post all the pics as a collage showing start to finish!

That flower rainbow is lovely and great progress on the top.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much - that's an interesting idea!
