I was looking around the internet on New Year's Day weekend and I found a new to me online shop that specializes in counted canvaswork. The shop, Scarlett Thread, features many counted canvas designs kitted and ready to go, which is great for me. I found a couple neat designs and promptly talked myself out of them, reminding myself of my current stash situation.
The next day, I checked out some of my regular blog stops and found that the Spinster Stitcher had started this design. It's LJ Perin's Color Study: One Long Panel. It's a gorgeous, sparkly design. Spinster's pictures totally sunk my resolve and I immediately went to the Scarlett Thread and ordered the chart kitted up and ready to go. Super helpful shop, with a living person available at the shop number to answer my questions, really quick shipping, careful packaging (no affiliation, just my observations). The kit arrived yesterday and it is lovely. I took it to Di's dance class last night and started on it. My progress is above. Lots of careful counting needed, I've had to do a little frogging already. The instructions are well written and the diagrams are very clear, I just have to remember to stop and look at them every now and again. Can't wait to get back to it.
