Beautiful! and yes, same colour as the background always makes life difficult, especially with dark colours.
Re: Sina's stitches UPDATE on Mugs of Warmth on 8. Nov.
I really like the colors together, lovely update!

Re: Sina's stitches UPDATE on Mugs of Warmth on 8. Nov.
A big Thank You to everyone!
Hélène, so far I'm really liking the new stand. It's the first time I'm using one so I still have to figure out how exactly it is best positioned to comfortably work with it for a longer period of time.It is adjustable on a lot of different parts so I think it can be positioned absolutely perfectly, just have to find what I like best.

I decided I need to try and diminuate the amount of my WIPs. Right now I have 8 , which are:
1. Front Porch Paradise by Paula Vaughan
2. Tablecloth with Roses by Schäfer
3. La Cerise by Les Brodeuses Parisiennes
4. Spring Wreath by Riolis
5. Nativity figures from the magazine CrossStitcher
6. Tablecloth with Succulents by Rico
7. Victorian Lavender Scissor Keep by textile heritage
8. Mugs of Warmth by Viktoriya Ivchenko
I can't even put them all in my signature, they're too many.

Have you done any more of the Riolis wreath Sina? I've seen these and they look beautiful xxx

No, I stopped working on it after my last update here, I think. And I don't really see me working on it before the end of winter, unless I decide on implementing some kind of rotation again, which I might do.

I'm working hard on finishing it now, I finally want to get going on my seasonal stitching!

Re: Sina's stitches UPDATE on Mugs of Warmth on 23. Nov.
This is really coming along great Sina! Is it difficult stitching on such a dark fabric?

Thank you!
I have used the stand now quite a lot and I think I have found a position that suits me really well. Definitely better than ever before.poppy wrote:You can feel the warmth already! Lovely update.

It is! I think on Aida it would be a little easier but on the linen it is really difficult to see the holes. The linen per se is a little bumpy, of course.Nicola Main wrote:This is really coming along great Sina! Is it difficult stitching on such a dark fabric?

I found that putting a white cloth or pillowcase on my lap while stitching helps seeing the holes more clearly on dark evenweave.sina28 wrote:on the linen it is really difficult to see the holes. The linen per se is a little bumpy, of course

Re: Sina's stitches UPDATE on Mugs of Warmth on 23. Nov.
It's growing nicely!
I've used a daylight LED light to help with dark colours, but didn't find a white cloth under helped me much on evenweave.

I tried using a white cloth, but it didn't really help a lot, unfortunately. But I will be getting an LED/magnifier lamp for my stitch stand so that will make things a lot easier! Right now I am using a daylight bulb in my ordinary lamp, which already helps quite a bit.
