Getting there!
The main body of His Eye is on the Sparrow is done.
I'm working on the border.
I did get it to line up with a little ripping.
It is a little off center but, only by two stitches.
I'm not going to adjust that.
I have five skeins of Oscar left.
I hope that will be enough.
I am telling you this is a thread suck and the pattern gave you no idea just how much thread you need. I have used a lot of thread!!!
And I finished my first pair of felted slipper clogs.
I am pretty pleased with how they turned out.
I have yarn to make a pair for Ed.
When I brought these home and he saw him, he asked about me making a pair for him.
I showed him the yarn I picked out for him and it was a hit.
I'm using yarn on the upper part that is varigated.
Hope you had a great weekend. It was cold here and we got about two inches of snow. The good thing is this time of the year, it never stays long.
Have a gorgeous week!
Keep on Stitching

Eye looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got it to work, it's an intense piece.
I wish the designers would all out approximately how many skeins you need for a design because sometimes if you buy more, it doesn't match well.
The slippers look so warm.
Have a great week!

His Eye is one amazing sampler. You are brave for tackling it. It will be absolutely beautiful when you are finished. I agree about the thread. That is especially true when you are buying the dyed threads. At least for DMC, you can run to Joanns, if there is a close one.
ReplyDeleteThread suck - I LOVE that descriptor! But it's beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHow pleased you must be to be nearing the end of His Eye. It is beautifully stitched! Looking forward to seeing what you choose for your next project.
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful and going to be such an achievement once finished. I hate it when I'm anxious about thread - I stitch faster tying to get to the end before I use it up!
ReplyDeleteLove those cute clogs too, they look cosy!
