Not Sure on Colors

Here is my second renzoku temari; I made it just after the first.  I'm really not sure about the colors I used on it.

More LeMans Pits

You can see how much more open and diverse the LeMans pits are than the Indycar ones.  It's a whole different mindset.  They were packing up when we went through, since the race had been run.








Purple Garden Done

Yay, a pretty big finish!  There's a mistake on the left border, but since I was about 90 rows up when I noticed it, I doubt anyone else will either.  Other than that, I think it came out pretty well.  It's a pattern from Sticklounge, and I did it in HDF Examplar Ox Blood and Examplar Milligrubs. 

Still Fruity

I feel like I'm stalling on this, even though I'm not.  It's just those third of the way through blues.

The LeMans Pits

Just as the goal of a LeMans race is different from other racing, so are their pits.  For one thing, more kinds of tires!  For another, lots more access for the fans, and the drivers and owners and mechanics actually talk to you.  Here are some pictures from after the LeMans race at Baltimore.









The Serpent's Tail

I have approximately 100 more rows to go, and have stitched about 150.  Progress!  The chameleon's or dragon's (depending on who's seeing what) tail is done, which means there's a Chinese character and the framing out of the piece to go.

Finally, the Castle

I finally got to starting the castle part.  It makes me feel like I'm actually making progress!
