we decided to try the idea I had at the end of the cross stitching on SAL 18.
We would repeat the patterns on AIDA and make a scissor fob to go with the thread drop.
I found an off cut in white 14 count that would accommodate the 14 by 14 count of the pattern. Yes it is going to be a small fob for a small pair of scissors I guess. I thought that on this much smaller size and using two strands I might have enough thread left from the kit to do the fob.
Looks like there will still be some thread left over once the fob is completed!
As you can see stitching on AIDA went much quicker than on the wood.
In the same space of time one version of the design is completed and the other is over halfway.
We both agreed it was considerably easier on fabric, however it took a little while to get used to the counting on the changed base material. Probably because it was the same pattern. I had no trouble making the switch back to counting on AIDA for my Sunday stitching project.
We had a nice chat about this and that as we went as this allowed for that. Although at times we also had silence. Which I think was as we were both kind of tired and it was a "what were we talking about, lost our train of thought" kind of silence not a "need to concentrate on counting" kind.
We plan to have the requirements to hand to fully finish SAL 19 next week and perhaps have some time to fully consider what will be SAL 20 (unless we decide this counts as 18 part two and it is 19 we need to select).
