Stitching Update

Ok, I worked on three things over the weekend... I finished the first page of Mermaid of the Deep (no pic of this one), I finished my second page of Speckled Fairy, and worked quite a bit on Steam Punk Fairy.

I also bought a new set of DMC colors for Steam Punk. I'm still perfecting having the threaded needle ready attached to the bobbin, but those are threaded with one strand. I'm doing Steam Punk on 18ct with two strands. I figured that it would muck up the whole system if I switched back and forth. Also, for the 18ct I like to do a loop start so I want really long pieces to start with. For the 28ct over one, I want a much smaller strand to start with. Soo.... I figure I'm going to have to have two sets of DMC eventually... one for over one and one for larger count projects. I knew I bought that extra Jammer for a reason.

Remember... you can never have too much floss! :)
