And in other news, after fighting with Beguiling Tiger by Dimensions for two days, I tossed it in the trash. I hate all the difficult specialty stitches because they made my wrists and fingers hurt, and there is absolutely no point in spending countless hours on a project that I completely hate. I'm too far along to go back and stitch it all with two strand crosses, so in the trash it went. This is where I gave up.
If I do ever purchase the kit again, I'll stitch everything with regular crosses. But I think that is very unlikely anytime soon. That puts me down two projects, so I went ahead and pulled another one out of my stash. I picked up Curiosity by Janlynn. I wanted something nice and easy and completely non-frustrating and this fits the bill. Simple colors, large blocks of stitches, and adorable. No blended stitches, no tent stitches, minimal backstitching. A real win/win!

Great progress on them Kaelyn. Sorry you tossed the Dimensions kit. Did you really throw it away? Love the Library Kittens.

beautiful progress on beautiful projects. Fall Fairy is a great one to stitch, I made it a few years ago :)
ReplyDeleteLooking good. :) I don't know how you keep track of so many projects at once. Can't blame you for tossing the tiger. It's not worth the effort if it is more pain than pleasure.
ReplyDeleteWonderful progress! Congrats on your finish!
