Sugar and Spice... and Everything Nice
May. 31st, 2011 03:10 pmI've been going through a bit of a creative cranky period the last few months. I've got about eight potential projects on the go, but no completed patterns. So a few weeks ago I decided to just do something fun, and I figured something with limited colours would be easier to work up a pattern for and much less headache-y to stitch. And I was so right.
I stitched 6931 stitches, made up of 35 metres of 9 different colours of thread in just over two weeks. In comparison, the Serenity cross stitch was only a little over a thousand stitches more, and yet it took me nearly six months. That's a ridiculous variance of stitching speed! Clearly, fewer colours means much easier stitching, and the magic cross stitch fabric helped too (more on that later).
So, here's a Powerpuff Girls cross stitch made of joy and stress-free stitching!
