Slow Progress, An Annoying Page

Jun 24

I'm finding this page really tough, the major big chunks of colour are of a colour that I've run out of in my "WIP Box". I have 2 big boxes of threads where I've stored all the threads that Sae bought for me, divided by the DMC codes. I have another smaller box, where I put several colours that I'm working on for that page. And now, one of the colours in my WIP box has finished and I need to get a new skein out of the big boxes. Which isn't terribly difficult, except I'm so lazy that I can't make the trip to the other side of the coffee table where it lives. :p.

So in the meantime, its been little patches here and there, all of which are making me feel like I'm not really getting anywhere. I've also been sick with a fever the past few days so I haven't been able to stitch for a few days. Sae has probably already caught up and overtaken me. :( I'm still sick though no longer stuck in bed all day but I'm too tired to sit and stitch for long.

Well here's my very patchy work:

As you can see, I've abandoned my column by column plan and have just been winging it. Once I'm done with this page, which hopefully will be soon, I'll go back to having a plan.

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.
