About to Frog

Because this piece isn't really figural or symmetric, I'm finding I keep messing up by one stitch.  This time, it was the upper line.  It's one too long, so the small square and the diamond beginning below it get to be ripped out.... I -will- get better at reading charts!  Count twice, stitch once.

Not Abandoned

I'm finally back to doing this on a regular basis.  Good thing, too, since I've signed up for two more Kustom Krafts stitchalongs.  I'm not starting them, though, until this one's done!

Samplering Some More

I've been using the Weeks 2 strand floss on this, and it's taken some getting used to.  First, just that it's two strands, so you don't have to do so much pulling apart.  It's also stiffer and less supple than DMC.  There's a matte finish to it, too.  This would be an excellent substitute for linen flosses.  Oh, and I've progress a bit into the second of four parts now, too.

A Tenth Part

The tenth part is done.  Time to start the Tassensampler, since it's next in the rotation.

At the Beginning

Yay, I'm at the top of the sampler.  I'll have this done fairly soon, too.

Walls Done

Finally!  I'm done with all the block walls.  Now I can go on and finally do the fun stuff.

Peaches No Green

I got a lot of the area around the potted plant done, but none of it.
