Actually it is what I am using for the stocking and the Alla Turca mystery SAL.<BR/><BR/>I bought it in Ireland off the bolt, and don't even know what "brand" if any it is. And I am running out of it and have no plans for Ireland this year :{<BR/><BR/>Glad you both are feeling better, and had a GOOD dinner tonite (I read your next post already)Edyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09891231764552459663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-22896891834601448232009-02-18T20:25:00.000-05:002009-02-18T20:25:00.000-05:00We had some lovely brussel sprouts from Mala Ocean...We had some lovely brussel sprouts from Mala Ocean Tavern on Monday. They were wok fried and crispy. But I remain committed to my contention that I HATE brussel sprouts. And most of them live down to this reputation. Have you ever lived next to a brussel sprout field? Pure evil smell!<BR/><BR/>As for linen, it's not stiff or soft, but dense or loose and I hate loose. Yes, I have loose linen and I do stitch on it. But I hate the way the back threads show through. I'd rather use Jazlyn (very, very dense), even though someone recently remarked how much they hate pushing the needle through such dense fabric. I don't mind.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17968531508224415029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-60790662084638486862009-02-18T16:50:00.000-05:002009-02-18T16:50:00.000-05:00Mmmmm.

I'm sorry you and Stewey have been under the weather, and hopefully you'll both be back to perfect soon. I'm happy, though, that you've found the joys of stiff linen. It's my favorite ... the stiffer, the better. I know there's a joke there, but we don't even have to say it out loud, do we?dorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702339127060616036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-23110846220786677072009-02-18T16:29:00.000-05:002009-02-18T16:29:00.000-05:00Hi Coni,I'm glad to hear that you are starting to ...Hi Coni,<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to hear that you are starting to feel better. Poor Stewey, I hope the injury didn't affect his "man of the house" title too much. If he's anything like my two pups he'll stick to your side like glue for the next few days until he gets over it.<BR/>Love the new start also, it's looking very pretty already.<BR/>Best wishes,<BR/>Gail.msstitch01https://www.blogger.com/profile/11669670531392138229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-64992547919807516422009-02-18T14:11:00.000-05:002009-02-18T14:11:00.000-05:00Awww... sorry you're still feeling poorly.

We only have girl animals so have not encountered that particular problem. As to stitching, I like the linen thats sort of soft and densely woven, as I stitch totally in hand, no matter the size.Debshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14607249729100121091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-85835731349272526472009-02-18T13:32:00.000-05:002009-02-18T13:32:00.000-05:00Aw poor little Stewey LOL!!
