Corkscrew (Finished, framed, and given Sept 19)

[carolynbb]

Heaven forbid I go two days between finishing a project and starting a new one.

One of my favorite coworkers, Erin, just announced that she's leaving the company, so I wanted to stitch something for her.

We have Wine Wednesdays with a couple other coworkers every week, so I originally bought this:



But the person doesn't look anything like Erin.

So I wound up buying this one as well:



Since that one looks a lot closer to her.

I scanned both patterns in, opened them in Photoshop, and combined them to make one big pattern from the two individual ones.

I also tweaked some colors to match her haircolor and etc.

So this should be a quick, fun, quasi-custom piece.

It's 2-ply, over 1, 14 ct Aida.

What great projects and your "tweaking" will only add to it.

Let's see if this works...I have to put my progress pics in my Gallery here, since my coworker is on my Flickr feed.
