Several Shades of Grey

A couple of updates this week, not got a lot done though as I've been busy doing other things.
First up is Summer Horse Sion, been working on the trees on this one. Lots of half stitches so when I did find time to work on it quite a lot of progress was made in a short time.

Second up is Little China, more greys and off whites on this one. Doesn't look like a lot of progress but I only really had a few hours on it.

Summer Horse

I'm going to try to switch my update days to a Sunday now so that means I only have my weekday piece this time round. I've been working on my Permin Summer Horse kit last week. Have completed another chunk of green and got to break out two new shades of blue. Exciting! I always like it when I get to use a new colour.  The blues are quite hard to see in the photo but they are there, honest!

Summer Horse

So this week I have been working on my Summer Horse from Permin AKA Sion, got lots more green done in the 5 days I worked on it. Think I have actually worked on it twice since the last photo I took so it looks like I've done even more in the last week than I really have. Nice to do some half crosses as they stitch up really fast compared to everything else. The only downside is that on such a low count fabric it has really poor coverage, not sure what the kit makers were thinking there! Looks even worse in the photo than in real life.

For my weekend project I worked on Little China. The little face on the little kitten is now showing signs of having ears. Might get the whole of his head done soon. Then all I need to do is to stitch the rest of the body before I can move onto the nice bright colours. I figure If I do it that way if I never get round to the background at least I have the kitty fully stitched and that could be finished on its own.

3rd Week in a Row

So I've managed to work on two projects this week. The first is a Permin kit - I think it is called Summer Horse but there is no name on the actual kit packaging. I call it Sion because it looks like the little Welsh cob I used to own.

The other project has been the HEAD BB SAL piece Blue Moon. Managed to get around 300 stitches in Blue Moon over the weekend - doubt I'll be seeing anything like that for a while now that I have my next Essay Question for Uni.

The snow has now gone, think we must be the only part of the UK that didn't get all that snow over the weekend. All of the horses now look rather unimpressed that the snow has changed back into mud.
