Nice progress! I think it's fun that you do this while watching Formula 1 only!

Great update

Nice update!!!!!!

Great design and you are making really good progress

It's looking great so far.. it's looking more like a pirate ship to me right now... a pirate ship with a lot of sails...

Really good progress. I can't imagine stitching and watching a car race. However do you not lose track of your count? (no pun intended)

lovely progress!

Interesting race this weekend. Hope you enjoy the Montreal one too!

I do the bits that need counting during the talking before the race and leave the easy filling in bits for the actual race when I need to keep looking at the TV. That's the plan, anyway

I didn't get much done during the Canadian GP as I only stitched during the qualifying and the race itself. I'm off work this week and I've taken it into my head that I should do some spring cleaning, so over the weekend I was sorting out the bedroom. Not as much fun as stitching, but very necessary.

But, as the race was red-flagged for around two hours, I did get some work done on this so I think you can just about tell now that that grey blob on the left is a tyre. A wet tyre of course, because what else would it be after that very soggy race



It's getting there, and I have high hopes of finishing, or almost finishing the first page during the European GP in just over a week.
Thanks for looking

oh no! soggy tires!! It's looking great so far!!

Nice update! It's fun to see how this piece is important to you.

Progress is coming right along!!!!!!!!

Looking great! I wondered if you'd get a bunch done since the race was red-flagged. At least there weren't any gophers on the track this year.

Lookin' good!

What a great design to stitch while you're watching F1! I love these charicatures of cars and other vehicles. Looking forward to the next update.

Coming on really well

Great work

Well, I didn't quite finish the first page, which was the plan, but I am happy with the progress, especially as it's starting to look like something other than a grey blob. I've also strayed into page two as it just didn't feel right leaving some bits half done, so that'll speed that page up a bit. (there are only four pages)
I'm hoping he'll have a better race at Silverstone now he has most of a helmet and can therefore see where he's going



I also got very excited stitching the V & O of Vodafone on the spoiler. It doesn't take much

Thanks for looking.

Looking so good. And I'm glad that its now safe for him to drive since he has his helmet back
