Angels and Demons part 2

I'm hoping I've now ended my technical problems by switching to the new blogger!!

Duplicate stitch - is this the same as Swiss darning?

Good

Bad

Angel 1

Jessies Flame

Pattern Source: Stitch and Bitch Nation

Yarn used: Rowan Magpie Aran in black and red. Jaeger merino DK in yellow (used double) - all from stash

Started : sometime in January 07

Finished: 2nd February 07

Comments: Shortened body and sleeves and added a row of yellow to the neckband. God pattern instructions and Shea does not want to take it off - so what better credit than that!!

Angel 2

I started out with a Celtic knot thing going on- until I tried to sew it in place!!

And finished with Celtic spirals!!

Comments: I now know I'm not an embroiderer!! The yarn makes the whole garment drape beautifully.
