Sheepish Designs - Red Alphabet.
A new start and a finish - well, mostly finished.
The pattern has a 2003 and an initial in the five open diamonds. I am still considering lots of things, but whatever I put there, and since it might be a last name of five letters, I am going to be prudent and not post the name on the internet. I like alphabet samplers, well, I am slightly picky, so not every one. This one breaks my usual rules. First - it's got no 'Z'. Second, the bottom alphabet just stops at 't'... But on first glance, it feels balanced, and it always catches my eye when I see it.
Actually, I missed a stitch, the little flip stitch on that 'L' in the top row. I will fix that right now, and fill in those diamonds with something.
I stitched it using dmc 154, a dark purple, on a scrap of PTP Sand, 28 count, one over one.
It is 4.5 inches wide and 4 inches high.
Knightmare was finish #8, and I am calling this finish #9 for 2019.
