The deliberate refusal to use a hoop when executing a multitude of randomly spaced stitches resulting in uneven wonky crosses of various sizes from medium to barely visible.
What a mess. I stitched the entire tree with one color, went back with the lighter to fill in. Those lighter threads with little contrast to the linen are so very difficult for me to see, and then to attempt to find the two threads for the stitch when pulled so tightly was maddening. I could not tell where the cross was or even if it was crossed. Yoi. If I ever have such a stitch pattern in another project, I will use my hoop and hope that will correct this. I should have know better, tension is always an issue with me, but did not think it would cause such a hassle.
No scheduled surgery yet, the surgeon's office was to call Monday, has not, and is not returning calls.
Have a good day folks.
Stitching with Kittens (no-reply), I don't stitch over one on 32, but I use DMC or cotton thread always. The floche seemed to cover a little better with one thread, and I would really like to learn more about silks and some others that are thicker, or threads that are too fine. When we have to order without visual, we have to do research! I may look for a site that explains the thickness and best use for linen counts.

Continued medical frustrations for you. So sorry you have to deal with every little situation and hope the procedures go as scheduled.
Your trees look great! You should be proud of yourself for getting them done so well in spite of a vision problem.
What mess? I just see pretty trees... a plane going over would never notice any
problem.... Sorry about the continued medical hassles... Continued prayers for Peace+
Marly: I love your trees, I do not see anything out of place, I really like the greens they look perfect.
I hope you can get this health thing in order, it sounds like they are running you and Carole around.

Hmmm....by my (most usually faulty, but I double-checked) reckoning, is it not Thursday?? Hello medical profession????? Grrrr.... I am not seeing anything but perfection in your trees...so either my vision is worse than yours or I am, contrary to my norm, seeing the forest and not the trees??? ~Robin~
I guess it's the old hurry up and wait game going on with Carole. So frustrating and anxiety producing.........so sorry !
Your trees and letters looks wonderful to me. Your stitching is always beautiful. Just enjoy the time with your needle and floss.
I'm doing the 2016 PS Santa now and listening to Christmas music as I stitch. Takes my mind off of other things.
Have a happy weekend.
