And the first, and possibly only chart I'll be stitching by this designer. It may be the only one I have. It is a paper chart, but is well marked and easy to stitch from.
I had taken this with me while I was on a small vacation at my parents, but didn't actually get any stitching done there. So this was started just last night. I debated a bit on colours, etc., but then decided to just put a full thread length of black into it. Here's what it looks like now:
Delivering Tricks by Country Spirits Collection
stitched 2 over 2 on 28ct gray evenweave
with DMC 310 so far
The chart calls for Weeks Dye Works threads, so I might pull out some of them for some parts of it, but haven't yet. The black is technically supposed to be Onyx, but I think if I use DMC 310 and try some specialty threads for the rest, that will help those threads stand out a bit better. That's my idea at least.
It will be good to get back to this one. Probably just a few days of stitching would see it completed, so that would be fun. I'm going to have a lot of these kind next year I think. "just a few days", but those will add up!
I hope it's been nice weather where you're at, although let's all hope for rain out Clare's way. It's been almost 2 months with no rain there!
Happy Stitching,
Tiffstitch
