Stitching to clothing I do fairly often. Fortunately stitching to my knee
not quite as often, but on a rare occasion it has happened.

It's Florida and I'm often wearing shorts. I don't really like a sit-on
frame or a standing frame because it forces you to sit up straight and
generally I prop my hoop or roller frame on one knee when I'm doing
needlework and just let things fall into my lap when I'm doing a hem. I sit
crunched into a corner with one leg under me and the other bent with knee
up.
I know, I know that's not a pretty picture. lol
Every so often I'll pick up the very top layer of skin on my bony knee and
not even feel it until I tug the thread to see where it's stuck.
Most of the time I do it so efficiently and delicately that it doesn't even
bleed, but on occasion I've had to drop everything on the floor to avoid a
stain. Not too smart, but too much of a habit to try to change now.

Me. I love to stitch outside. One our small front deck. Under the
umbrella. But once the temperature hits 80 it's usually to humid for
me to handle. That's why I like the spring and fall.

I used to. Lately though the pine trees which were mere saplings when I moved
in 16 years ago are putting out so much pollen that in a matter of minutes, my
nose clogs and little flecks of yellow/green stuff attaches itself to the work.
