I’ve done quite a lot of small projects since the move. However, since we’re going to be in our temporary accommodation more than 2 months yet, I decided it was time to get out some of my larger projects and pick up where I left off. Small projects are all well and good, but I don’t want the following to become UFOs !!!
Last time I stitched on the Joan Elliott design “Unicorn & Maiden” was in May when it looked like this
So, out came some blue thread, and I began work on more of the gown.
Not an awful lot of progress but better than none ^^
I’ve also been trying to fit in an hour every morning on my fractal folly “DreamCatcher”. For those of you who follow, you’ll know I began this in February. A mammouth project, printed on 25 A4 size pages and with over 100 symbols. Total madness ^^
Anyway, the previous photo I posted, way back in April was this
I am sorry (ashamed) to say that there is almost no change.
Despite plugging away (at least 5 hours stitching) it hardly looks as if I did anything. And even worse . . . I’ve got some frogging to do
I’ve made a fudge up, confusing two symbols: the /// and the \\\ so need to brace myself for some unpicking. I am not looking forward to it! Wish me luck ^^
I hate symbol charts for exactly that reason. Give me colour charts any day, because at least you’ve got something to relate to…
Oh no. There’s nothing more frustrating, is there.
Your work is beautiful! Yes, it is easy to confuse symbols however I don’t do colors real well because sometimes when you have that many, they are too close. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the unpicking. I don’t like that part either.
Ooooh looks like a lot of work on both. 😇
Any progress is progress. It was such an easy mistake to make on the chart. I hope it doesn’t take too long to unpick.
