Thanks, Kimberly! You know, I had the opportunity to see Trevelyon's book in person, but only certain pages - so I didn't see the line-drawings. The color is amazing!

I absolutely love your monogrammed scarf, by the way (in the pink). It is gorgeous!! (Well, all your work is!)

I used embroidery threads.thank you for your comments

No problem at all Kimberly!! I hope you continue sharing your beautiful work with all of us here on stitching fingers, regards!!

Thank you so much for your kind words Kimberly! To be fair, I not only love your

arabasque scarf, I'm enchanted with all of your work, your stitching is really neat and delicate, and your color choices are perfect!

I dont think the previous catalogues do the current one justice. They're using much better cameras now in the wake of the success 'Twixt Art & Nature's' catalogue had.
The Viking connection is the most exciting discovery I have made thus far and has opened up an entire new branch of research that I didn't think I could incorporate on blogo.

Oh, it is sooo interesting that you ask that specific question. The owner of the shop is very nice and incredibly helpful - I mean he totally cares about stitchers! So, in the light of the amazing pictures in 'Twixt Art & Nature', it seems Witney's Catalogue has a lot more good high def pictures than any of its previous catalogues - (I looked at about 10 while I was there). I bought it for 3 pictures in particular but I have just counted and there are 9 blown-up images WITH LOTS OF COLOUR and detail.

Hi again Kimberly
Gosh, you're going to The Met soon! shall was swap? - I'll live near The Met and you can come here and live near the V&A....lol, seriously. If you could ask them a bit about the bag, that would be great! (Link on blog) I know what you mean about the non user-friendly aspect. V&A are wonderful in the way they let you photograph stuff, as long as its not marked 'prohibited to photograph blah'.
I know exactly what you mean about computers sucking life out of us. And don't you find, it doesn't matter what screen you have or what contrast (mine is zero) you still end up with 'buggy eyes'.
blogging is OK, for me anyway it really helps to plot out my 'mind map'.
Personally, I am most interested in "the stitches for whose mechanics are still unknown to us' and I must say, I saw a whole STACK of them this afternoon in Witney. I'm going to blog about Witney, so will save rest.
Your PBS is magnifique! How many ways do you know how to do that stitch? I have only this week found my 4th....!
