It's Frogging Time Again

This week I caught a big mistake while working on part 14. I'm going to have to frog four squares on the right border and redo them. They're off by two stitches. It's the only real thing that's given me problems with this mystery thing - getting off by a stitch or two because I don't have any context in the chart to put it in its place. At last it's not an even bigger mistake.

Fiddly Bits


I'm working on lots of little fiddly bits in this part. The vine-type thing has knots and diamonds in it. Those I'm doing in a separate color. They're the most tedious part of the band, though.

Re-star-ting


This project I started over the summer with my face to face chapter. I put it aside at the time because my rotation was full (isn't it always?). I had the slot back when I finished my temari, so I put this in there. I figure it's a small project and better to be done than sit in a corner neglected. So, this week I finished the lettering and started the yellow under it.

Waterfall

The string art stitches in this section remind me of a waterfall. The instructions for putting the stitches next to each other could have been clearer, but I figured it out. I think. Anyway,this part is done and it's time to start another. It's coming together - slowly as usual, but progress is being made.

Blue Tunic


I got her face done this week and started filling out her tunic. This part is going pretty quickly. The face doesn't really have any contrast between the two colors - one overdyed and one plain - used. Maybe it'll show up more when she's outlined.

Filling in the Bricks


Now you can see more of the beginning of the building. While I love the blue I finished, I'm so happy to go on to something new. This is, so far, going pretty well, too, and has a lot of variety.

Can You See...?


Can you see the progress here from last week? I can! I finished some red and worked some on the skirt, in the lighter colors. I also added a bit more to the ribbon trailing down darkly.
