As you can tell from the title of this post, I ran out of thread for the Potions pattern and with only two more rows to go, the Queen stitch row and the cross stitched row at the bottom. Gosh, darn it.........so close to completion.
I was hoping I could pick up the DMC alternative color that was listed in the pattern and use that, but guess what color it called for? Gray.......yep, gray. Now I'm pretty sure that aubergine and gray aren't the same color unless I have an eye ailment that I am unaware of. How in world can a designer say that gray is the alternative color to variegated purple!??! Boggles my mind.
So I had to go online and buy another skein of thread, which is quite sad because 1) it is expensive and 2) I only needed a little bit of thread to complete my project. I guess I could use the rest of the thread on future Halloween projects......
I am hoping that the thread matches the previous dye lot, otherwise I might just scream and you'll probably hear me screaming from wherever you are in the world as I open that package and realize it doesn't match.
With Potions on hold for the moment, I plan on pulling out another project in my stash. I think maybe an embroidery project this time. I have another Tamar Nahir-Yanai kit that I purchased at Hobby Lobby. I need to iron it tonight so I can start on it tomorrow.
I hope you guys are having a great week so far!
Until next time ^___^
Oh no, oh no, oh no! Isn't that the way it always goes? I hope that the skein is a perfect match. The screaming might be a bit much for the neighbors, and the world. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe fence at the bottom is gorgeous! I love the open look. Great stitching!
Lol i'd probably sound like one of those creatures in The Lord of the Rings movie!!!
DeleteHopefully no one has to endure my screams of frustration. Lol
This is so pretty. I'm with you - how can grey be the alternate color?
ReplyDeleteLol I have no idea. Usually the dmc colors are somewhat similar...just not this time.
DeleteI have loved seeing your projects. Mary is coming along nicely. Have a great Friday and weekend :)
Arghhh! That's so frustrating. It's looking lovely, though.
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I should be getting my thread in the mail next week so I can finish the pattern. (Fingers crossed that the dye lot is similar °~°)
DeleteHave a great weekend!!
