Update on the Stitchalong

Essie is almost at a page finish - next week for certain.

Wolverine's nose is appearing from the shadows now on mine.

Page finish

 I think the page Essie is currently working on is the toughest as there are so many colour changes.  She's almost there.

My page however contained very few so worked up quickly, allowing a page finish. 

Wolverine update

I'm a little late posting our update this week as I've been working long hours and my evenings have seen me elsewhere. 

 Essie's 

 Mine 

There are 7 weeks or so left of 2018.  Once our current page has been stitched, there remains one full page and very few rows on the final page to complete the picture.

Can we do it?

In a tangle

Some kits come with pre-cut lengths of thread to work with, tied up conveniently to card and labelled with their name or colour number.  Others do not and I very often find myself in a tangle. 

All of my DMC threads are painstakingly neatly wrapped by hand onto a card bobbin and filed in numerical order, as seen in an earlier post.

Normally my hardanger threads arrive and remain on their spools but any that aren't, end up being wound on bobbins as seen here to prevent the headache of such a tangle.

It took around 5 hours and the assistance of my husband to finally tame the tangle but it was worth it.

A new month

A new page finish.

I'm loving all the different stitches in this sampler.
