Wind Moon, Pages 2 and 3
A little bit of moon and a lot of sky. I don't like that I can see a little bit of column here. I'm thinking it's because I'm actually gridding with Sulky Silver and not with a pen. I may have to change up my tactics. When I stitch in columns, I usually stitch 12 stitches on one row and then 10 on the next so I get a feathering effect. It worked well on Adrift, but find I'm still seeing the grids a little bit. Of course, this is only the first few pages of the pattern, and they should even out as I continue, but it still annoys me a bit.
So this is two pages. Page 2 started March 26 and finished April 5, and page 3 started April 6 and finished April 19. So just under a month for two pages.
You know this is a big-ass project when you are 3 pages in and your status bar says 2% complete. It's enough to make you cry. But this is where the old 1 grid at a time, one column at a time, one page at a time, one row at a time comes in to play. Baby steps! I just have to keep telling myself that. I'm not gonna lie, it's daunting looking at a pattern this big, and it does intimidate me a little. But as long as I feel like I'm making progress on my other project, I think I'll be ok.
I'm back to Meeting on the Turret Stairs. And spring is FINALLY sprung. What a long, wet, crazy winter we had. I have so many buds on my trees, I think they are expressing their own feelings at spring finally arriving. It's going to be a beautiful spring!
Happy stitching, my kindred spirits. I hope to see you all soon.
