In this episode, which perhaps you thought you might never see, I bring you up-to-date on what's been going on since last we met.

There's embroidery. I show you the miniature sitting room carpet I embroidered in cross stitch for Foxe and Boxe's dollhouse, and demonstrate the way I edge, cut out, and finish it.

There's knitting. Specifically, lace knitting. One shawl (with a pattern given to my middle- and top-tier Patreon patrons, available to you if you sign up) in wool, adapted from a Victorian pattern. One lacy choker, knit in raffia for a headless shepherdess (it's a whole thing).

And there's...window dressing. I create a fantasy Rococo shepherdess in paper and paint for Les Tricoteurs Volants, the yarn shop here in my Parisian neighborhood.

The raffia I knit was unlabeled, sold in hanks by a Paris craft store. It is entirely possible to purchase raffia that is intended for knitting and crochet, for example:
