10 pages and 7 skeins completed

Long Dog Samplers - Pandemic.  Finished the 7th skein of dmc 35.  Now have 10 random pages completed.  I did continue a few more threads to see if the motif would meet the top border properly.  It did.  Hooray. 

In January I must have needed a new start.  I had gotten the booklet Sisters from Blackbird Designs.  I had enough to start - Peace and Plenty.   I was missing a fancy floss.  I had a list of a few projects where I just needed one or two, and recently I have tried to fill in the flosses.  This got pulled out to put the floss away, I honestly did not remember starting it.  But it had multiple colors - for me right now - that was enough for me to play with it.  So it looked like the photo above when I picked it back up... and it looks like the photo below now when I shoved it back into the pile of started things.

One Skein At A Time

Long Dog - Pandemic.  This is 6 skeins of dmc used.  Seven random pages completed except for some backstitching tiny things.  The pattern is 20 pages, 4 rows across, 5 pages per row.  I worked on bottom row middle page, and am gonna add a few more stitches to that yet so I can finish the page since it is silly close to completed.  Also the second row first page is now complete.  Rather than just get completely sick of the area, I skip around, work in a different area, anything so I can get to the end of the skein of floss.   
Linen and Threads 2020 SAL - finished October.  Actually I think this also flipped to another skein during this month.  I think I have started the third skein of dmc.

Getting there....


 Mermaid's Folly from Courtney Collection.  This is 7 skeins of dmc 310 used and 21 of the 24 pages completed.  Finished 3 more pages this skein, leaving me with just 3 more pages to finish.  But I am gonna stop and change to something else for a skein.  I'd like to see this as finished before the year end, but those pages that I have left sure look like a lot of stitches.
