Perhaps whole families can work together, because otherwise I fear my balcony scene might end up with a naked Archbishop of Canterbury, as his cassock, chimere (cloak) and mitre all look fiddly.As charming as Fiona Goble's book may be, the only pattern I might actually tackle is the corgi. Delightfully it is available for free at the Guardian's website here.

- Masterpiece's upcoming broadcast of Andrew Davies' adaptation of South Riding looks as if it might be quite good! A fiery young headmistress Sarah Burton brings her modern ideas to the conservative girls' school in depression-era Yorkshire, sparking conflict — and attraction — with Robert Carne, a stubborn, brooding landowner mired in a troubled past.

Hey Jodi! I'm discovering your blog... (and your cats!). Thank you for the address :)
I'm looking forward to South Riding, though I still have to catch up to the last Upstairs, Downstairs.
Do you do much embroidery since you started knitting? I have a crewel kit from 1992 that I always mean to finish "one of these days."
South Riding does sound good. I hadn't heard of it!
Please make the corgi! It would be too adorable. I'm excited to hear more about your adventures in crewel.
I also succumbed to Alicia's crewelwork sampler. It will be my first venture into crewel as well. Perhaps we could do a crewel-along this summer to keep us motivated to work on it.
I love those knitted Royal family figures but your right they do look rather fiddley to knit up.

Crewel embroidery is fun!! And slightly addictive!
I'm going to have to check out South Riding. That sampler is so tempting but I've resisted to far, it is so beautiful.
I so want to knit those royals!
