So Maybe It Is a Dragon

I got more done on the bookmark from HAED. The head is about done now, and it looks different than the picture on the pattern, but then I think they always do. Pictures don't capture the details. I always thought it was a salamander, but the head's not salamander-ish. Perhaps it is a dragon, after all.

Middle's Done

I finished the middle stripe finally. About a third of the total pages for the whole ornament were about this stripe. Now I get to go on to the other two-thirds of the instructions.

Blame the Frog

I made a mistake and discovered it four letters later... which means I had to frog. This picture is mid-ribbit. The S and the first part of the T are correct. The U and V are not. Can you see the mistake? Since the picture, I've completed the part and moved on to the next stitchalong project -the Kaleidoscope Mandala.

Within Walking Distance

So I decided to share a couple of pictures of the neighborhood. The main street, the Rambla, runs right next to the shore and has a lot of high rise apartment buildings along one side. In this picture, an old church being restored is wedged between two of them.

This is the other side of the Rambla - beach and shoreline for the entire distance. This is the beach by Positos. No sunbathers as late in the day as this picture was taken, but lots of people in the park next to it. Very nice area to walk around.

More Ribbon

I added more ribbon down the side this week and did more ecru in the middle of the skirt. Lots of light color. As of this week, I've rebuilt my rotation and have worked on all ten items in it. Now to keep up the pace!

All But One

All the points but one are done on the compass. It's coming along pretty well, though after this picture I saw a mistake rather far up in the lower curve below the W. So I spent a lot of today so far repairing it.

Filling in the Blanks

The second line's no longer, but it's more filled in after this week. On the first panel, I've gotten all the first row of color done and am working on the second and third.
