My Night Project Which Became Portable
I’ve mentioned quite a few times this past summer that I had a “night time” project going, while I’m at home taking care of dad.
The project I’ve been working on is the Santorini Floral kit that I carry here in the shop.
These kits have been a bit of a Godsend for me lately. They allow me to have something I can do with my hands in the evenings, that don’t require much thought, planning, magnification, or even specific lighting.
While I know some stitchers find counted work more exacting when it comes to attention, thinking, and so forth, I find it just the opposite. The kits supply everything I need. I don’t have to think of stitches (!) or colors or anything. I’m just following a chart, but only up to a point. Because these folk designs often involve a lot of repetition with their classic border motifs, I can generally work without the chart once I’ve done a motif or two.
Still, I did manage to make a good mistake on this piece. I’ll show it to you below and I’ll tell you what my solution is for it.
