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...
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...
It's the finale. Only two more nights for this season. Nice but understated opening. Redemption round. Drew. Pass Doble. Better than his first one but still lacking in shaping, posture, and footwork. I'll give him the scores. Frankie. Foxtrot. I felt it came off as stiff at times. A few steps looked choppy. Too high. Jordan. Charleston. While it was all danced and recognizable as a Charleston, the song was an odd choice. I agree with the scores. Lindsey. Quickstep. They kept body contact throughout but I felt her left elbow dropped to much. I agree with the scores. The freestyles! Drew. Cute and fun. Although I spent most of it with an eyebrow raised wondering what they were doing. Too high for me. Frankie. At times it felt like dance by numbers. I haven't had to say that in a while. But he seemed off time in areas and had trouble keeping technique with the steps. Too high for me. Jordan. Good dance. Very him. I agree with the scores. Lindsey. I loved ...
I really like the colours, and I'm impressed how you can keep track of all the confetti!
ReplyDeleteThe confetti is why I park. I'd go mad otherwise.
