QS Snow Family (HAED) - kimkat_tkl FINISHED!!

[kimkat_tkl]

I thought that I would start a new SAL thread just for this one.

Here is what the finished design looks like:


Details:
185 x 262 stitches (9 pages of pattern)
Stitched 1 over 1 on 25ct Blue Lugana
90 colours

I started stitching this on Friday night (I already had the fabric gridded) and as of this morning I had 3.41% finished (1655 of 48470 stitches).

Goodness you are really moving with this one!! I'll look forward to seeing it grow as it really is such a lovely design.

Great work hun, you are making great progress!

[~threadbear~]

Wow! you are right in there and steaming ahead!
Fabulous progress already.

[Jenny-M]

Wow what a speedy start! It took me a week to get this far with mine lol!! Well done

[kimkat_tkl]

I think that it helps that there are large areas of just the one colour and that I took Monday off work (as a precaution, I knew I was going out partying and drinking Sunday night) and so spent most of yesterday stitching.

kimkat - I understand about the gridding but what are the long pink threads where you have started stitching - if you don't mind me asking.

PS. Fantastic progress - well done

The long pink threads are actually the gridding I have removed from the area I have stitched already - I was finding that my stitching was slowing down when I was trying to stitch around it so have decided that I will remove it as I am going.

You've made a wonderful start with this!!!

Looking at the picture I wouldn't figure there were 90 colors in it? I think the one I got with 50 colors was bad. How long do you think it will take you?

[stdenny]

That pattern is loverly. May just have to add that to my wishlist. . Are you by any chance related to Superman cos you got off to a flying start. . Keep up the good work.

Wow! You've made such a GREAT start!

Well you may not get another pic until next week (I have to bring my stitching to work to use the work camera) but I got another 700 stitches done last night (1.5%)

Looking at the picture I wouldn't figure there were 90 colors in it? I think the one I got with 50 colors was bad. How long do you think it will take you?

I'm not exactly sure how long it will take me - it's seem to be going really fast at the moment because I am not chopping and changing colours but that is because the majority of the sky seems to be just 3 colours (I stitched a row last night that was 88 stitches long! ) but that may change when I start the snowmen.

That pattern is loverly. May just have to add that to my wishlist. .

Unfortunately this artist has been retired - I was lucky enough to find the pattern on another online store just after she was retired but I'm not sure whether you would be able to get it now...
