Now that I have about a 10 second commute, 12 if the dog is in the way, after work. I've decided to have a sit down with a coffee project that can be done with mag eyes, and this week it's the Russian Icon.
As I am so used to stitching on the diagonal, I have decided to convert it from top down, and managed about 3 rows before we had to stop to prepare supper.
It's not going to be very difficult to make the switch, and it is easier to do. Although, I have had to change my methodology and working my stitches top right to bottom left, and then bottom left to top right - which feels arse about face as since I been working on Colin.
To be honest, the switch back to 14 count Aida is more difficult that changing the way I am stitching on this project. It feels like a football pitch in between each hole. Clearly, 25 count 1 over 1 is my medium, and I will be sticking to it once my smaller wips are out of the way.
I bet it's nice for you to see a different project on here ... but don't get too excited as I am jut about to start my after supper stitching on Colin.
My entire house stinks of smoke, as some numb nuts at the back of us has started a huge bonfire in his 20 foot deep garden. If I lived next door I swear I would have turned hose on him.
Happy stitching y'all.
Hugs
Kay
