(Progress as at 2/4/2019)
March/April - Task 6
See original post for HAED Alpaca for details on fabric, stitch count, etc.
That's Task 6 Extra Credit completed, now I can move on to the Homework for Y3 W6.
'Students, we have had some trouble at Hogwarts. The Fat Lady has vanished from the Gryffindor Dorms. Professor Snape has decided to abandon the lesson plans for Defense of the Dark Arts and is now teaching werewolves. The Dementors are roaming the campus and invaded the Quidditch matches and causing people to black out!! So this week, we are going to remain calm while all these troubles are happening. Your homework is as follows and ; requires 300 stitches for each assignment and double that amount for penalty stitches. You do not have to stitch directly on the item but you must tell how it fits. Each task is worth 5 pts for a total of 15 points.
1) For the Fat Lady Vanishing - Stitch on a project that is very close to a finished (at least 75% completed)
2) For Professor Snape abandoning the lesson plans: Stitch on a project that has gone of course ( a mistake you have run with; a project you have changed)
3) For the Dementors that caused us to black out: Stitch on something with DARK threads'
It will be 600 penalty stitches on HEAD Alpaca for Task 1 ; 300 stitches on DMC as it is riddled with mis-counts, etc.; 300 stitches on Russian Icon DARK stitches, that should be pretty easy to do. If I get time I will try for Extra Credit of stitching DMC 310 stitches, I thought I could stitch a black and dark grey border around the frame of the Russian Icon. Northern Lights and Russian Icon are on Aida, so it will feel like a breeze after 600 penalty stitches on HAED Alpaca.
Oh well, it's been a hectic day today, and frustrating for reasons that I can't get into, so endeavour to keep calm and think about carrying on stitchin' tomorrow when I get home.
I'm on the countdown for youngest son to get back from Uni ... so excited.
