I pulled this out of the WIP basket this evening and put in a few stitches. I like this piece -- I like the design and I really like the fiber I chose; I had part of a skein of Needle Necessities in my stash and I thought the colors were perfect for something Celtic. I like to have one or two small pieces like this in progress all the time. They're perfect go-to projects for work evenings when I don't feel like or just don't want to get into something involved. The model picture on the chart shows this mounted in a box, but I'm thinking I'll finish using Blackbird's instructions for a pin cushion (although the chart is from Sunflower Seed, not BBD). I don't know that I want to stick pins in it, but filled with ground walnut shells it should make a very nice book weight.
On the job front, I talked to the manager at my new place and she told me that I passed the security screening (I didn't
think I'd have trouble with that but one never knows!) and I officially start on Monday! Friday is my last day at my current job. It's been a good job as far as the work, working conditions and co-workers go, but the new one offers much more opportunity, pays a little better (with the possibility of increases) and cuts my commute from 30 to 12 miles each way. Plus, it's in the field I went to school for. It's time to move on.
Happy stitching!

Love your WIP, the colour works really well!
Good luck with your new job.
Love your WIP! It's one of those pieces I've always admired -- the colors you chose are wonderful! Good luck on the new job -- and congratulations too!
Beautiful progress! Good luck with the new job!
Love the colors!
Congrats on the new job and hope it turns out well. Love that thread color, I was sad when Needle Necessities went out of business. I think it was one of the first overdyed threads available.
