I got a little bit turned around converting Colin (Crow on Crescent Hill) into a combined Knit Companion file. It took a couple of goes, but thanks to Karen's (The Needle Bug) latest tutorial it worked like a fairly comfortable dream.
However, then trying to work out where the heckin' heck I was in that giant combined chart with no markings and working across three pages was a different matter. I the end I just worked out where each page started and then then to the top right furthest completed, and stitched downwards, marking off as I went. Tonight I managed to join it all up, the only thing is that's left me with a lot of stitches in a diagonal.
Tomorrow I will start furthest left stitches and keep to that 10 stitch diagonal, and then go back to the other two diagonals when I have reach a logical place.
After work I also managed to get a tiny bit of stitching done for Oiseux Will You?
I'm hoping that the un-stitched line in the crown will be done in with gold work bullion ... I just have to be brave and take a leap of faith on that one. I have it hoarded in a tin ready. Tomorrow, on my post-commute stitching session I will try to finish off her head, and then get into the words.
It's been a challenge with this one, as I have not wanted to put it on one of my scroll bars, but the Q-snap frame doesn't keep it tight enough. I cracked today and just worked in hand, and I think that might be the way to go with it.
I'm off to make a coffee, and maybe do a little bit more stitching.
Hugs
