kathril | stitching update 01

I got way drunker than I should have last night so I've spent all day in my pyjamas drinking tea and watching my wife play Rebirth.

Cross stitch update time then. :^)

Patterns I'm currently working on are The Templar Prophecy by Long Dog Samplers, Autumn in the Valley by fancyfoxglove on Etsy, and the top right cat from Cat Mages by Alisa Okneas.

Templar Prophecy got a lot of focus in February. We went from 23.7% completion on the first to 34.4% at the end of the month. Getting about 10% completed through steady stitching did make me a little more optimistic about its eventual completion, but it takes as long as it takes.

Also - I bought a little floor stand from a charity shop. It's kind of creaky and janky but I've anthropormophised it and it's like a sad feeble little animal to me now, I love it. I can't say I enjoy working on it more than just stitching with the Q-snap, but it's fun to see more of it on show at a time. :')

Autumn in the Valley will be my primary focus in March. It's at 73.5% completed so I'm fairly confident I can get it finished. I've used the called for DMC threads for most of the areas with shading, but hopefully once they're completed I can just sub in the generic floss from my collection to finish off little details that won't need to be so precise.

And despite promising myself I wouldn't start another project just yet, I had to do a little cat mage. This should be pretty quick to complete when I get round to it, but there's not too much to show at the moment.
