Where it’s at for the end of November
Just another quick post of some wip pictures before I round up my goals for November and set some new ones for the last month of the year.
I concentrated most of my minimal stitching time this month on catching up with my neglected Bramble and the Rose SAL. I am now very happy to say that is up-to-date and this picture is as of November 30. I haven’t worked out exact percentages but I think this will put me very close to 30% or so. Since most of the stitching of this was done on the train I just did the green areas and didn’t battle with taking the additional spool to do the flowers. Hopefully December month will see this page finished off completely. Bramble will be on my 2010 goals for completion I think.
The only other picture I have is my small progress on the PINN stitch kit. For some reason my stitching over two always seems so much slower and this project is no exception. The threads for this one are rougher than DMC and don’t feel the best but I am not going to substitute the threads from the kit so I will just have to keep plodding along as fast as I can. It is also a colour chart which for some reason seems harder for me to keep track on and follow while stitching. I have never worked from a colour chart before and at this point there is nothing to indicate I will be rushing out to do so again. This is another design I would like to see finished in 2010. Overall it is pretty simple so here’s hoping I can find my groove with this design and make some significant progress each month.
While I have worked on Cirques this month there is not enough for a picture, in fact I am not sure I will update it again now until it is finished (hoping I can still finish it before the end of the year).

ooohhh, pretty!
I really like your Bramble – very pretty. And great work getting all caught up! That’s some good progress on the PINN kit too. Not good news about the threads but I’m sure it’ll go ok in the end. I know what you mean about standard over twos, I keep thinking I should see more progress but it just doesn’t happen. Probably because I spend more time making sure the strands aren’t twisted and lie nice and flat.
