Sashiko

Started a new embroidery this morning,a gift from our Mitsue and Mattiaz.It really reminds me of all the peonies we saw when I was in Tokyo last year.

You can find the pattern both in swedish and english.
Made in 2 threads of Peer Gynt(5252) on 7mm.The cuff is longer than on the pattern.As we have rather cold in autumn and winter it's good to have them warming up not only the hand.It goes fast to knit a mitten but with the yarn I used I got too big holes so I had to put the in the washing machine on 40 gr.Perfect mittens now.
