Quick and Cute Hardanger Candle

I've really gotten into Hardanger again lately. Of course, it helps that my seizures are controlled enough that counting is not a trigger. (Sadly, work that requires more analysis, like coding and sometimes even math, still trigger seizures or migraines.)

I found this adorable pattern for a candle the other night and today got the right colors of thread out of the Sonja Daughters stash at the lodge. It only took a bit over an hour. It will be put in a card for sale at our butik.

2019

In preparation for 2019, I'm starting this blog over. It will still be about my needlework and crafting, but I haven't been posting because quite frankly, I don't want to admin my blog, I just want to write. (For that matter, the way my seizure and migraine triggers work, admining is a bad idea.) So, I'm switching over to Blogger (which I use for other blogs) and starting over. If you want to see my old posts, they are available on the Wayback Machine here. And, yes, I know that I could export and import my old blog, I just didn't want to! If I think something is relevant, then I'll update it.

Some of the things I want to work on here are actually getting the Sons of Norway cultural skills awards for Weaving (I've turned in level 1, I'm 98% done with level 2), Knitting (I have done the knitting, just need to do the writing parts) and Hardanger (I have the skills, but haven't done any of it.) I also want to work on the Genealogy program and I'll probably put my stuff from that here as well. I actually originally joined Sons of Norway because I had learned about the cultural skills program from some of the people I met doing Hardanger embroidery, but I haven't actually done the work.
