#crossstitch

Still alive. Still stitching. I'm finally on the second-to-last step on this project, but the last two steps involve making cording and then you only get half the length to stitch with until it's time to make cording again. I thought the single strand gold accents were slow, but I was wrong. This is much slower. 😂 I will finish someday. #crossstitch

I stitched KAJ! 🇸🇪 🇫🇮

And the colours aren't exact, partially because it's hard to judge colours in stage lighting and partially because I found evidence of at least two different shades of Axel's pants.

But anyway, if you're at a loose end this week and looking for an extra bit of something for the #Eurovision decor collection, here's a free pattern for your enjoyment 😉

Hurrah, progress!

Finished the second part and made a decent dent in the third part of the SAL. I can start the border tomorrow, or maybe crack on with the other 2.5 hexagons to be done.

Pattern is Floral Hexagons by Carolyn Manning for Lakeside Needlecraft.

The soil gave way to a green ombre cake slice, its colours flowing seamlessly from lush green to pale mint, crowned with radiant red mushrooms that sparkled with enchantment.

"Shroom Slice" is May's Patreon pattern!

Patrons Tier 2 and up can snag this alluring pattern this month and if you're a Tier 3 patron, you also get my last two patterns, "Tethered Dreams", and "Between Paws and Planets".

#WIPWednesday, and all I have to show for it is a new splodge of mostly dark blue along the bottom here. Haven't had a single second to do any knitting or any other crafts this week so far, ack!

Today marks the third Wednesday in a row of failing to put a video out, despite staying up until half two in the morning to try and finish it. So this week I put my task list into one of those auto scheduling apps hoping it might have some answers...

...it turns out I have like 20 hours more work to do in my week than there is literal time, so...er...no wonder I'm stressed. Whoops. Time for a rethink 😅

The Silence - Doctor Who

Yeaaahh, j'ai finis! (Il était temps!)
Contente du résultat, ce qui est rare parce que je me lasse facilement de ce que je fais moi-même!

J'aime beaucoup les épisodes avec eux, et comme je me suis arrêté à la fin de la première saison de Whitaker, je suppose que j'en ai loupée! (Mais trop de spoils, j'arrive plus à regarder à cause de ça! ^^').

Almost forgot to post my final #24hocs update from this weekend. I mean, imagine! 😱

So. 24 hours got me 1909 stitches, which is pretty tragic but this pattern is very bitty. Half of the A and a good start on the M, after over three years of zero progress I will take it!

We had quite a few 24h finishers, others who achieved their own smaller goals, and as ever a group of rebels doing 24 hours of...

- Coat Sewing
- Coastal Sunshine
- Crazily Spinning
- Caring (for) Snakes

This pic kind of hurts to look at, so imagine stitching on it all weekend and feel my pain 😅
