I've completed everything on this design that I'm going to do from the chart. All the rest I'm going to improvise. The plan is to make it more British so I'm going with an Olympic theme as that's about as topical as you can get at the moment. This is what it's looking like so far.
It's taken a little longer than I hoped, mainly because I've just had a bad few migraine weeks but hopefully the migraines will stay away for a while now and I can catch up with some stitching.
I did have a mishap while I was stitching this. I was filling in the walls while watching the Olympics on TV over the weekend. I was obviously paying a bit more attention to the excitement on screen than I was to my cross stitch. I'd filled in the one wall with pale blue but then must have picked up the darker blue when I started the other wall.
And. I. Didn't. Notice.
Not until I'd almost finished the wall. Then I had the delightful task of frogging it all. I blame Murray as I was watching the tennis at the time.
I may redo the bit that I messed up on Around the World part three before carrying on with this. Then once this is finished I can carry straight on with part four. Then I'll be a bit more caught up, just in time to start the next round of Cottages and SALs.
I put an entire border around the project I am working on and when I went to start the interior next to I realized I was 2 stitches too far inside. Had to pull the whole thing out. That's what I get for trying to count during the women's team gymnastic competition
