Cross-stitching Progress
Aug. 19th, 2020 07:19 amAnother week, another cross-stitching update.
I left off here last week:

And made it to here this past week:

I more or less outlined the rest of the stocking because there is an awful lot of filling in with navy blue stitches in the remainder of the work. Having the outline already in place will make that more mindless. It can also be awkward working at the very top so if I can alternate working from the top down and the bottom up, that is easier on the arms.
My current estimate is three more weeks. Then maybe I'll find myself another sewing project. Or maybe I'll give myself over to knitting for a week or two. Who knows? I should probably finish something I've started.
