In June or July I'm supposed to go on a little vacation, and I plan to take Yarr with me. It's not a busy vacation, it's a relax-in-the-middle-of-nowhere vacation, and I think I can have a pretty good start on him.
Especially if I leave my other projects at home!
Since I want to start him so soon, he is also kitted and ready to go. I thought I would show you his components all spread out:
That's a 30x36 piece of 22ct hardanger, all his floss, and his pattern. I only spread the pages a little, there are 36 total, although some are half pages and the bottom row of pages is only about 20 rows total. He's actually medium-sized for a HAED, with not as much floss as some. (Amanda and Axel, for instance, has less colors but takes 27! skeins of black).
One day to go! Whatever shall Z be...?
Ohhh I like this one. Looking forward to seeing your start on it. I recently put Marta Dahlig's Icicles chart on lay away. I really like her art work.
ReplyDeleteWOW that's a big kit! All those floss changes would put me right off. The multipage instructions have always been hard for me too.
ReplyDeleteSo, when you're vacation is done, will he be finished? Or, is he going to find new friends in you WIP? Just asking because, I have a WIP that could use a handsome young man. I am taking a trip next month and taking one of my x-stitch WIP's with me. I hope it will be a done deal by the time I get home.

What a great project! I'm not very crafty myself; I have all of the enthusiasm but none of the talent!

Wow, creative!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great chart Tama. BUT, that piece of fabric and all that floss scare the heck out of me.
