#45 ~ SMSL Y3 W2 - Diagon Alley


7/3/2019
Northern Lights - DMC Kit - on Black Aida
I did not grid, but should have.
Purchased from Hobbycraft
DMC threads from kit and DMC Etoile in black substituted for non-stitched portions of the kit


Task 2:  When I gave this task some thought, I swapped 500 penalty stitches for Northern Lights.  As I visited Mr Mulpepper's Apothecary and purchased some 'Picea Pungens Borealis' (spruce needles) gathered from northern pines that have been exposed to the Northern Lights, and the reason given is it is useful for making up potions to aid House Elves if they have the flu.  This dropped my stitch count to 250, and thus saved me some time.  Stitching on 18 count Aida is a piece of quick cake when one's been working on 25 count.

Task 1: Alpaca - 500 penalty stitches completed.  I just have a small piece to complete another diagonal.


Progress as at 7/03/2019

Finished Design Size 400 W by 584 H (16 W X 23-1/4 H inches on 25 count)
Chart Contains 89 Colours
Copyright Heaven and Earth Designs 2017 (Conni Togel 2017)

DMC Magic Count Evenweave 25 count (KatzXstitch)

Task 3: The Tea Cups will be started tomorrow, and I will have 250 stitches to complete.

Thank Crunchie it's Friday.  I am looking forward to a decent long session of stitching this afternoon and tomorrow.

Keep calm and carry on stitch ... stitch ... stitchin'.

Hugs.
