WIP Wednesday (lemmy.world)

Seems the fun WIP Wednesday names didn't take off so back to the regular post names.

With last week's finish I got to start my new project! I'm super excited for this project. Trying out my Q-snaps and grime guard for the first time also. It's full coverage and about 20k stitches. I'm doing 2 over 1 on 18 count Aida.

I'll get back to the Mondrian project at some point.

That's fair! It's going to take more that one post to change the tide. I'll see if I can come up with something better for next week!

I am also a fan of large blocks of color as evident from my posts. Knowing that not every stitch needs to be perfect like on a sampler or something like that helps a lot. I'm still a very new stitcher and still learning how to keep things neat what better way to practice then with some large blocks!
