Purple Circles

I finished all the Jessicas in this band this week. Looking at the next band ... that one's a huge amount of Jessicas. Before I get to it, though, there's another row of starfles (the middle band in the picture). I'll be starting them this week.

Another Week, Another Round Robin

Well, I finished this one early this week but waited until today to post it. Had to because my husband was away and I had to get a picture. At least this Aida was softer than the last few, and it was a quick and easy stitch.

Uncertainty

I'm still not sure I've counted right for the corners. There's really nothing to register them against and the backstitching is weirdly counted because of the single thread on the outline bit. Part three really doesn't help. It doesn't have any part of part two to register against on the chart. I may go ahead and do all of part three, then hope part four has tiny bits of both to place part two correctly. It's not like I'm keeping up with the chart, anyway. I still like the look of it on this fabric a lot and this is the first problem of this kind I've had with any of this designer's charts.

Slight Progress

I managed to stitch some on this at Seminar. It's going slow because it's not really in my rotation, but I'll get it done. I like it.

The Blues

This piece suffered, too, when I was at Seminar. I worked on it again last week, though, and you can see there are more blues on it now. It's gotten a bit more done since last week, and I hope to get to it once more before my husband takes pictures on Saturday. He's gone until late Friday night on a business trip, so I have more stitching time. I still like the look of this a lot. It's one piece I haven't gotten tired of working on - after a year and a half.

Frogging and Progress

This week I had to frog all the gold braid inside the arch. It was off by one stitch too low. Fixed that and added some green, including on the second arch. It's coming along, and I should have the first arch done in the beginning of October.

Flagging a Bit

This got put aside a bit when I went to Seminar, but I've made some progress. I worked on it last night, too, so it's farther along than this. The flag is definitely beginning to take form, and the stitching is relatively easy with large blocks of color. I'll be working on it more once I catch the round robins up - I need to finish it in time for Timothy to frame it by April. Anyway, it's a nice project that's not giving me any problems so far.
