Looks A Tangle

Things look a bit abstract and more of a tangle than a winter scene at the moment.  That should change, I hope.

Well On The Third

I am well started on the third part and working hard on backstitching on part four.  I still feel like I'm making real progress despite working on this only once a week.

Indian Cotton

I bought this cotton yarn at the same place I bought the long stitch kits.  I was surprised that they had a wide selection of wool and acrylic yarns in Mumbai's climate, but the proprietor explained that he's the only shop in Mumbai to stock such things.  He does a good business in it.


Weaving

Finally got my loom all set up and warped, which was a pretty bad job this first time.  I'll get better.  Now to weave some dishcloths just in time to leave.

On The Second Square

The second square is well begun, yay!  The border area is very finicky and takes a long time.  Because I am using such a high count fabric, I'm going to ignore the little crosses inside the diamonds.

Yay, A Bit Of Color

I've made enough headway to get some wine in my glass.  I'm happy it's going quickly-ish.  I've been working on it daily.

Trims Indian Style

I found a sari trim shop in Bandra, close to where I was staying in Mumbai.  These trims are what I narrowed down to buy.  The shop was packed with all kinds of trims.  It was great.  I could have bought a lot more, but was frugal.
