WIPocalypse March

Oops, I had a draft post ready to go a few days ago and completely forgot about it! I'm still plugging away on Snowy Owl (who's correct and more imperial sounding name is Northwind Owl). I've just started the couching.

 Ergh, couching.

Still, it really does make this design.
Some of those weirdly shaped gaps in the stitching make sense now. 

This month I also made it to 75% on The Lookout.
Their vacant little eyes look a bit creepy to me... 
So I'd say it's been quite a productive month! This month's WIPocalypse question is show us your favorite places to stitch.

Sadly, my favourite stitching place is not set up at the moment. My craft room is quite a variable beast, with a folding table, beanbag and bookcases lining the walls. I tend to shift stuff around as I need to, and at the moment my sewing machine is set up, and my stitching setup with beanbag and lamp is not. When I don't need my setup (which I really only require for over one stuff) I stitch on my couch, or in bed.

  5. You're doing such a great job with Northwind Owl. I finished the same design last year and loved it, though I could have done without the 5 strands for shading! Your meerkats are beautiful too.

  6. Thanks Anne! I just had a peek at your blog, and those lions are on my wishlist. Looks like we stitch similar things. :P The five stranded shading does drive me mad, but the effect looks nice.
