Mabel, I have added I can't think how many threads now. Mostly blue-greys, some of the Étoile threads, well lots of things.
1. I've learned that a small hoop can sometimes be useful. This working in hand doesn't come naturally.
2. That sharp needles are, well, sharp; my fingers aren't used to being careful.
3. That 3 strands of regular stranded cotton does a good job on this fabric (no idea what it is!). I'm using many other thread thickness too.
4. I must not try to overthink these -- they are meant to be "intuitive", which I guess means "sit down and stitch" and I'm not very good at that.
5. I know I'm quite a way behind. I also realise I'm starting to look at landscapes differently.
But I had to show off my latest day, because it is pretty much exactly what I saw out my window on the 5th. I knew what I wanted to do, but only yesterday realised how to do it.
