Time to get out the black Cone of Doom! For yet another all-black Witchy Stitcher pattern. I actually am not using DMC 310 on this one though. Here's what it will look like when it's finished:
I had some fun fabric for this one, and instead of DMC 310 I grabbed some of my Madeira black silk. I picked up several skeins on deep discount when Stoney Creek was getting rid of them, and the coverage is better than DMC, so it should look great on this pattern.
I didn't get as much done as I hoped, the lighting wasn't great at the conference, and this was the second day of it, after not sleeping well for 2 nights, but there's definitely a start.
Antisocial Cryptid Club by Witchy Stitcher

with Madeira black silk
Although the first cryptid is likely intended to be Nessie from Loch Ness, in my head it will be Champ, our local cryptid lake monster that was discovered before Nessie, by Samuel de Champlain, who Lake Champlain is named after. I believe Lake Champlain is the largest lake after the Great Lakes in North America.
Here's a bit more on the Champ legend if you're interested. There is a photo of Champ that people use as evidence:

More cryptids to come when I can get back to the stitching!
Hope it's been a good stitching day,

Maderia silk is lovely to stitch with, happy stitching.Champ legend sounds similar to Nessie in Loch Ness in Scotland
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is, such great coverage. So, apparently, there's some controversy that Champ was heard of first, and Nessie came after, but Nessie is definitely more well-known.
DeleteOh that's a fun one! Should also stitch up quickly once you can get into it and focus.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
