TW's Celestial Dragon

-
It's done! In under three months. I had to take two days off this week because I ran out of purple beads.


Here's a close up for the detail on the head.



A few notes for those deciding to stitch this design. While the pattern told me what I needed to stitch this, it failed to mention quantities. You will need two skeins for the following #'s. 420, 422, 677, 738, 792, 794. You will need minimal amounts of the following #'s. 991, 3346, 3765. You will also need 3 packages of Mill Hill 40252.

On a different note, my cat decided to sleep on my clean robe.

    I think I will forward this to a priest I know, whose wife is Chinese - this is exquisite, and I know she would appreciate it. Thank you for posting this, Katie! (Meg from Intricate XS)

    Beautiful! I have this one in my stash. You are a fast stitcher. It would take me years to complete this.

I seem to be a bit all over the place this week. Let me walk you through it. Sunday, I have declared this day to be for 'insanity'. I shall try and keep this up. So Monday, I picked up a new cross-stitch, Mystical Wizard. More on that later but here are the colors. Wednesday, I decided to work on one of my sewing projects. A 17.5" stuffed Christmas tree. I was going to make the 12" one but I had enough fabric if I ignored the included cutting diagram and got away with 1/8" less. But come Thursday, I was tired of my cross stitch. There's only so much I could take of stitching blue on blue, and mainly two colors of blue. Of course the upper left is the least interesting part color-wise of this piece. So I switched to The Accolade. I'll include the last photo I took of it (with my old phone) because I didn't get that many rows finished. But not bad for only two days.   And as today is Sunday, I worked on Insanity again. And...

 I started this a while ago. The Marcelle afghan. But I was running out of yarn on the final round. Put it away for a while. Then forgot where I put my pattern. Found it again. Frogged everything and redid it with a smaller hook. Also messed up on round 71 four times and didn't realize it until round 73... There were only 74 rounds. 2nd pic is it on my queen bed. Now to pick a new project...
