Widening the Gap

This week, I hope to gain a much bigger lead on Sae, seeing that she's on holiday. If all goes according to plan and she didn't bring her HAED along with her, I should be ahead of her by about 3k stitches.

Lately, I've started watching Stargate Atlantis starting from Season 1 and that's greatly impacted on my stitching speed. However, with my 3k lead, I think I can keep this up. :D

This week, I'm up to about 14400 stitches and am back to going by columns on my page. Here's a pic of my progress:

It seems like I've done so much but then I'm only on my bottomest row. And whenever I remember that, it seems like many long years of stitching stretches ahead of me.

Ah well, at least I'm ahead of Sae! ;)

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.
