It's being put aside now until after our trip...
I don't hink I'm going to have time to post tomorrow so here is where I am today on Witches Wheel --- all the cross stitch complete and only beading to go. It's being put aside now until after our trip... rifestitch wrote on Oct 20, '10 WOW - that looks so cool! I can't wait to see the beads starting to go on! Have a great trip!

Slowly but surely... Fudge found and implemented. Now to ensure that the single row of stitches in a circle around the entire thing hasn't been thrown off totally by the fudges... Even with it being so close to completion, I'm going to be SOOO occupied with other things in the next few weeks, it'll never make it by Halloween. And with the cruise coming up in less than a week (OMG, OMG, I'm SOOO not ready), it'll have to be put away in favor of needlepoint, which I can do without magnification. Here is my chosen travel piece: It sort of matches my bathroom decor of palms. Guess I need to sort the fibers before leaving as I would imagine I'll be having light issues otherwise. Oh, and I won't be posting for a while. I REFUSE to pay their exorbitant charges for internet minutes! But I will come back with loads of pictures and I'll set up a place to view them SOMEWHERE! Not here though. This is stitchery only... rifestitch wrote on Oct 15, '10 WW looks AWESOME!!! Have a great trip!

Sounds like I need to be careful counting on this!!! thatyankstitches wrote on Oct 15, '10 ndmurdock saidI just bought this pattern and am hoping to kit it up soon. So nice to see a WIP photo on it. Sounds like I need to be careful counting on this!!! I ALWAYS have counting difficulties --- but I found my mistake and it was from misreading of the chart. It's easy to lose track of one's place in all those black squares, and sadly, I'm way to lazy to make a working copy! I was off one square in one witch and that did me in! I'm really looking forward to the beading, though, as I think it will "POP"! Enjoy the project. Are you using the special fabric? thatyankstitches wrote on Oct 18, '10 ndmurdock saidI just bought this pattern and am hoping to kit it up soon. So nice to see a WIP photo on it. Sounds like I need to be careful counting on this!!! Just discovered that, while it calls for five skeins of DMC black, that wasn't enough --- by about 1/3 of the outside border (a single line of stitches in a circle)... Not so bad with DMC as black is easy to come by but if you use a speciality thread, get one extra skein is my recommendation. rifestitch wrote on Oct 18, '10 Good to know... Again, not a lot of progress but I DID find the counting error so NOW I have a fudge approach! YAY! ifestitch wrote on Oct 7, '10 Glad you found it - this really is looking pretty awesome :)
