Accidentally started a new project tonight
I have been wanting a "pocket" like the ones in the Norrbotten folk costumes from 1912 for a while now. Tonight I realized that I need something semi formal to wear to K&H's wedding in not quite two weeks. Since folk costume counts as semi-formal or formal wear, I am using the excuse to make myself one. However, since I don't actually come from anywhere in Sweden, I am free to do my own style of embroidery, and I used as inspiration an ancient Pictish pattern that my erstwhile apprentice in Tasmania once showed me.
I have chosen colours that go well with the Nederluleå folk dance costume I have, so that I can just dress that one up a little.
This is how far I managed to get in 2.75 hours tonight, I think it will be possible to finish it on time:
The colours are not a decent match--the light at 02:20 isn't really suitable for photography. The blue is bluer than this, and the bit that looks almost yellow in the circle outlines is actually an indigo.
