Couch Week

Happy Queen's Birthday! Today was a public holiday for me and I've also taken the rest of this week off, I'm calling it my Couch Week. Sounds lazy and unproductive but actually I'm hoping to get ahead of Sae in my HAED. And it looks like I already have, even though my Couch Week has only just started. Earlier tonight, I counted my work and I'm at about 9540 stitches. I've only got a few more squares to go and I will be done with my 3rd page.


I'm onto the skirt drape bit, and its got quite a lot of solid colour blocks fortunately. However, I have been building up a few single stitch holes here and there. The reason being that these stitches require new colours that I've never used before and I can't bring myself to do the tedious work of separating strands of thread. All for 3-4 stitches here and there. (Unlike Sae, I don't cheat in my single stitch colour changes :p)

After I'm done with this page, I think I will take a day off before starting on the next page. After all, I do want to have some actual couch potato time.

As I'm off work this week and the progress chart is saved on my work computer, I'll update it next week.

Competition Rules

Competition Begins: 1st May 2008
Competition Ends: Chinese New Year 2013

Goal: Complete a HAED design by the time allotted.

Designs chosen are to be of approximately the same sizes. Contestants are free to change their design half way, however it must also be of the similar size to the original design chosen.

Each month, each contestant will deposit USD$20 into a separate bank account.

Every fortnight, each contestant has to update this blog with updated progress pictures.

Prize Money:

If only one contestant completes her design by the deadline, she gets the total amount of money saved by both contestants.

If neither designs are complete, the entire sum of money is to be donated to a charity that is agreed upon by both contestants.

If both complete it on time, the money is divided in the following manner:

60% of the total goes to the contestant who completes* her design first within the deadline.

40% of the total goes to the contestant who completes* her design last within the deadline.

* For EeL, completion means full completion. For Sae, completion for the 60% winner total is 210,400 stitches, with the remainder stitches to be completed by the deadline.
