I can't tent stitch after all
A bummer since I thought I'd be able to progress twice as fast on my HAEDs. I restarted Revelation, tent stitched on Monaco, and found that my stitching was becoming distorted. Definitely not as "crisp" when compared to what I had previously done on the 25 count Lugana. Oh, well. It probably would work just fine -- who's going to be scrutinizing my stitching anyway? But I just couldn't find it in me to accept it. So I am once again back to 25 count Lugana as my favorite for over one. Fortunately I was able to cancel the 1.75 yards of Monaco I had ordered and get some of the Lugana instead!
My birthday is coming up and I'm thinking of gifting myself with QS Day Dreaming Mermaid. And starting her as well. It actually works out perfectly since I'm rotating my projects in reverse alphabetical order and the next up after Revelation is Quaker Garden. So "Quick Stitch" would come right before that, right?
I'm so pathetic -- I picked out 21 projects to rotate in the hopes of seeing some progress and now I am fighting with myself to NOT add any more (all new starts which makes it even worse!). Yesterday I added Pale Rose, Calling the Crows, Beauty and the Beast (Gibson), and Isabella. An hour later I came to my senses and removed them. I'm fighting a losing battle though. I fear it's only a matter of time until I'm back up to 60 active WIPs!
And I wonder why everyone I know thinks I'm crazy?
