I've been working away on a Dimensions kit recently, Snowy Owl.
I think it's a stunning design, but it's not the most relaxing thing to stitch. Most of the background involves dragging five strands of floss through stiff, starched Aida. You can really feel it in your hands and shoulders after an hour of stitching. So I'm looking forward to finishing this off soon!
It must be a Dimensions thing. Have completed two Christmas Stockings by them and had a ton of half stitches with 5 strands. No fun. It's going to be very beautiful when completed. Can't wait to see the full picture.
ReplyDeleteYou're so right, it's no fun at all. :/ But yes, they are beautiful designs. :)
