Masquerade SK - Ching Chui Kuik - 12.07.16

Having recently sorted through all my stash and WIPs I have come across some projects that have been left untouched for far too long.

The last time I worked on Masquerade SK was 28.04.11.  This is what she looked like when I last worked on her.  When I was stitching on her previously I was going through the whole chart with each colour and completing every stitch with that colour.  When I picked the project up again there was a colour in the face which looked wrong and also in the arm.  Added to this it was extremely difficult to work out where there were stitches missing and what colour I needed to work them in.


So I made a decision to restart.  I really like this chart but was struggling to stitch on the original.  I had the perfect sized piece of DMC Magic Guide 18 count so here's how it looks now.


When it comes to the section on the face where the colour did not work I will look and see if it is the dye lot on my thread or try and substitute it out for a colour which blends better.

I am still trying to work out how to rotate between projects to give them the time I want to but also work on a wide range.  I'm trying to look at SALs in the various Facebook groups I am in and try and fit pieces into them to see how that goes.  I know have 106 projects in my XStitch App and more I want to start too!

Keep stitching and smiling
