I'm going to start with my progress on my WIPocalypse pieces since this was first. I added my new starts to the list, so there will also be some updates on them from now on. But let's start with this months question:
Do you find yourself more productive with stitching in summer or winter?
Well, I guess that's summer. I spent more time knitting in winter, so I have less time for stitching ;-) I'm not sure if I really make more progress, but at least it feels like that ;-)
I guess I haven't shown you my progress on Wolf Variant which I made some time during the month. I decided to stitch the page below the first page next instead of moving to page two. I will try and work a bigger row which will be some 200 stitches high. Otherwise I won't really see anything of the wolf while working my first row. I made a start with adding some 1600 stitches.
Before:
And after:
This a actually my biggest project (up to now) so I will try and pick it up quite often ;-)
Next up is once again my new start "Paddys Luck":
And Danielle, on which I have worked since my last post. The first four columns are complete, the butterfly is nearly done and I really love it :) I already started the next column and will finish it before picking up something else
You can also see the start of one of her gorgeous wings =) I am really excited about this =)
Well I guess that's it for WIPocalypse. I must say, that I am really happy with my progress for this month. I'm not sure if I will be able to, but it would be amazing to get that much done in June as well ;-)
After Danielle I will stitch on Middle Earth for a few days so there will be an update for the gifted Gorgousness SAL in a weeks time. And after that I will take out Kreimhild once more =)
So here is my update for YOTA. I once again decided to battle the confetti on QS Theatre of the Absurd and put some 500 stitches in. Not as much as I wanted, but I really spent hours on this one! I guess it took me two hours or more to fill one tiny square.... I will continue with the started column and I am confident about being able to finish it for next time because the squares to come are not that confetti heavy.
Before:
And after:
The flute player (or whatever he is doing there) is officially done now, there was so much confetti in him, so I really hope it will get better. Four columns and the started one to go!
Well, I see you in a few days with an update on Middle Earth and Danielle =)
You've done so much! I love Danielle, she'll be amazing.
AntwortenLöschenBoah, a bunch of 'Heaven and Earth'-Designs as WIPS. I envy you of having such patience.

Wow, great progress on all your WIPs:) The colours of Danielle are stunning - I can see why you love stitching her!
AntwortenLöschenYou've made such great progress! I can't believe how much you got done on Wolf Variant, wow.
AntwortenLöschenLots of fantastic progress on all your pieces. You had a very successful YOTA 500 stitches is a lot on a HAED.
AntwortenLöschenThank you for visiting me, I haven't been a very timely blogger this year either but I'm trying to get back to it. I miss my blogging friends. Great progress this round and all on HAEDs too! I love how they look like blobs of nothing and then all of a sudden details start to pop.
AntwortenLöschenGreat YOTA progress! That butterfly is gorgeous; can't wait to see more of that piece!
AntwortenLöschenGreat progress, they are all looking fab! I look forward to seeing the next update!
AntwortenLöschenOh my, Heaven and Earth's (?) Beautiful job!!!! They are coming along so nicely. Those side threads/parking...awesome job. Personally, would drive me crazy! lol
AntwortenLöschenI'm working on a HAED design myself
