WIP Wednesday! (lemmy.world)

Still no progress on my other WIP. However I'm making good progress on this one. The bottom was getting a bit tedious so I moved to the top. Other than a few confetti stitches and finishing the right side of the "O" the phrase is complete.

Really coming together nicely! I love this pattern. And remember (re: your other comment), nobody is looking at it that close up and nobody ever notices the flaws we notice ourselves :)

You're totally correct! No one but me will notice. It's hard to remember sometimes 😊

Three Feet Rule is a rule for a reason! :D

I love how crisp everything looks!

Thank you! If you look closely some of the stitching isn't super neat. This is my second project using 3 strands. I love the color coverage you get but it's really hard to keep them laying correctly. I think for my next project I want a higher count fabric so I can use two strands. They lay so much neater.

I'm only using one strand on the 28ct evenweave!

This project is 3 strands on 14 count and my other project is 3 strands on 16 count. I think I'm going to try an 18 or 20 count Aida for my next one.
