Did you know...

that some laptops have SD card readers? Meaning that you don't need to get your camera cable out from wherever you keep it, and can just take the card and plug it into the slot in your laptop? I didn't!! Until just a few days ago. I tried it out this morning and it was soo much easier compared to using the cable. I'm never using the cable again! Perhaps this will inspire me to take more pictures of my stitching. :D

It's only been a week since my last post, due to my holiday, so don't expect too much improvement. I decided to do some of the one-stitch sections, mainly so that I wouldn't get frustrated later on when there are tons of one stitches all over, and also because the one stitch section is the part with the wreath, so it looks like I've done a lot more than I actually have!


It's probably even harder for me to estimate how many stitches I've completed. At the moment, I've got stitches on 3 different pages simultaneously! I try and keep to the 10x10 squares as much as possible, but if there are any stitches of the same colour nearby, I'll do those as well. So it's all a bit haphazard at the moment, but I think I've done about 14.4k.

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.
