Day 1 - Lizzie Kate - Christmas Rules

I've managed to stitch quite a lot a lot yesterday. It was my first time using WDW thread and I was suprised to find that it has a completely different feel to it than DMC. Each stitch has to be crossed individually so the back is really messy, at least compared to what I'm used to. I am happy with what I managed to get done.

Jestem zadowolona z postępów prac :) Pierwszy raz haftowałam muliną WDW i byłam zdziwiona tym jak bardzo różni się od DMC. Jest bardziej sztywna i wydaje się jakby szorstka. Każdy krzyżyk powinien być robiony osobno, więc tył haftu jak nie prezentuje się najlepiej.

Stitched on 32ct Light Mocha Belfast with recommended WDW and CC threads


Today I will be starting the Mill Hill kit.  I come home from work usually around 8pm so I plan to post pics of my stitching on the next day. I took some pictures of the kit 'insides', it is stitched on perforated paper (first time for me) and I really hope at least half of the beads are spares, otherwise I'm in trouble :)

Dziś zaczynam mały zestaw Mill Hill. Zwykle wracam z pracy późnym wieczorem, więc zdjęcia będę wrzucać z jednodniowym opóźnieniem. Haft będzie wykonany na perforowanym papierze (nigdy wcześniej na nim nie haftowałam). Mam nadzieję, że chociaż część koralików jest zapasowa, zdecydowanie nie spodziewałam się aż tak wielu.

  1. Gorgeous start Basia. I was told that you don't have to stitch each stitch individually when working with variegated floss and that you may actually get a better effect if you stitch as you usually do (I work a line of half crosses and then work back along the line crossing them off). I've tried both ways and can't see much difference. Yours is looking lovely. No one sees the back anyway.

    Can't wait to see how you get on with all those beads! I really like both those pieces.
