I’ve been on a roll and stitched in the dark hours of the morning before work. It’s a fun pattern to work on, but sadly the most colourful (and fun) part is in the center, and I’m done with it.

How has your week been? Anything exciting to show off?

    I started the first stitches of Dracula’s Castle last night! The castle starts off with dark navy blue on black aida, so there’s not much to see yet lol

    Some real lazy lack of progress photos in this thread, like. Get it together stitchers 😂

    My phone is bricked (thanks Android 14) so I had to take real photos with a real camera and use a cable to get them to you. But I persevered!

    This week my WIP is basically kitting up this Errol pattern, which I’ll be starting on Saturday as part of the Discworld Makealong that I have inexplicably agreed to host. For the uninitiated, Errol is a swamp dragon from the book Guards! Guards! which you should 100% read.

    Currently trying to decide between my heart (stitch it on the cool space fabric) or my head (go for the speckled neutral for contrast). And it’s an actual paper pattern, like in the olden days, so I might have to sit on Friday night and make a Pattern Keeper version too!

    Should’ve looked closer at the colour count before buying it, I’m short about £20 worth of floss and definitely can’t afford that for a little bit, so I’ll just start off with the bits I own and see how it goes…
