The next video in this project will be up shortly, because it shouldn't take you too long to get the buttercup drawn onto the fabric. Next up is making the cordon, and it's a trickier one than we did on the sampler, so I thought I'd do a full video on that one. Don't worry if you didn't do the sampler project that you'll get lost; you won't, because the playlist of vids that enable you to work through all the stitches we put into the sampler is available in the Description Area below today's video.

Another Nuptial Flight Day here in Ireland (30th July, '24), and I noticed some smallish, more orange queens returning from their day out. They might be Flavus, but I have only seen Flavus workers before, and they are very orange, and rather shy, so I'm not positive. What do you reckon? By the way, the one on the bottom, with the eggs, is a Lasius Niger queen. My first Lasius Niger queen (Queenie) now has four little workers! Obviously, it would be super exciting to have a Flavus colony as well, because they are hard to watch in the wild, being so keen on undergroundishness.

Well, if you love crochet lace you'll probably enjoy doing Irish lace at this small scale. You're lucky your high school taught handcraft skills. So many schools don't do this any more, and it's so important for kids to learn how to make things. Gives one a sense of agency in the world as an adult, to be able to make things with your hands.
