BFF RAL selective amnesia

 that is the only explanation for me picking this up again today. Well that and an optimistic thought that having managed some finishes recently of slightly bigger projects , Crowned Cross and The project that is slated for seasonal sharing perhaps I could get another project sorted.

At first glance there is not a lot left to do, but and it is a big but what is left is special stitches. Ah yes that's why I paused. 

I have it out so what looks the easiest, there are stems to do, ah stem stitch on the sixth month, the sixth flower. I did get that done, lazy daisy leaves, no not feeling that stitch. I procrastinate by looking for anything else in the colour in my needle. Ah yes there is and joy it is just backstitch on the poppies.






















That felt like a lot of effort, but it has got me started.
However there was a lot of muttering about the chart and the key.


















All of the stitches are identified by a shape, with the symbol of the colour to use with a line pointing to the section to be completed with that stitch type and shade.

It is eye boggling, and that is also something I forgot!
















having picked it up again I might manage to keep going to a finish or perhaps not.

Maybe it will be my project for next BFF RAL.

I wait to see.
