A smallish project to get me back into stitching. Made a lot of mistakes in this, but I don't think anything is too obvious

The pattern was for three different variegated flosses, - I was having a hard time deciding what colours to use from my stock, didn't want to go and buy any more. So in the end I just used two and a solid orangy colour for the swirly bits to try and bring it together and I am surprised and happy with the finish. Not sure what I am going to do with it

Will have to try another smallish thing before I get back to my WIPs which I don't want to make silly mistakes on.

That's very pretty.

i think you made lovely choices in color, and errors are not evident.

it is very pretty ...

Very nice!! I love all the orange variations!

That's a lovely design! Is it a freebie available somewhere? And, I really like your color choices! Nice work - hope you get your stitching mojo back soon!

Thanks everyone.

Deb, yes it is a DMC freebie, here

lovely design love the orangey colours. Do you find you make more mistakes on small projects than you do on big ones?

That is so pretty. Wouldn't know anything was wrong if you didn't say so and still can't see it. I bookmarked that page from DMC as I love variegated/variation threads and have a few designs I want to use them on, but this certainly has some very pretty ones. thank you. I will be watching to see what others you do. Very lovely choice for this one.

Thank you both.

Fiddler, I've just cottoned on ( ) to why I was making mistakes. I usually grid my larger projects and not smaller ones. This was in between and I perhaps should have gridded. It is easier (and sooner) to see if you have gone wrong with a grid.

So pretty! I love those oranges!

Mags - great to see you back on the forum and stitching again.

Love the colours and the way you have got it all together. I love the autumn colours and do miss them up here.

Wow that is very pretty!!!!!!!! Those colors look amazing together!!!!!

Great project Mags - I love the colours. Sounds like you haven't been stitching much recently either, so I'm glad you've found your stitchy bug again too. Have you decided on your next project yet?

Glad you got your stitchy bug back! I can't see any mistakes at all and I love the warm orange colours.

That has come out so beautifully, great choice of colours!

Very pretty! I love the thread colors. I did this one using some variegated thread and loved it. And it IS surprisingly easy to make mistakes in this pattern. I did too. Fortunately, like your's, you don't notice them.

That is a really pretty design and I think your colour choices are fabulous.

lovely colours, great choice and I can't spot the mistake either!

I don't see any mistakes either and I really like your colour choices!

It is so beautiful! It would make a lovely biscornu, I think...
