eighthphaseFound an old counted cross-stitch pattern that mum left out. She dug it out and was all, "Okay, here we go!" and then proceeded to forget about it, and it's been like a week so I figured I'd do it if she wasn't going to. So I pulled it out and started going through it. It's bigger than anything I've ever finished, but it shouldn't be too bad, I guess.
And then I found out that all the thread was on a card, but none of the colours were marked on said card. So I have to guess which colours are which, according to the notes on the pattern. Which wouldn't be so bad, except that some of these colours are kind of obscure. ...well, at least I can try to identify them by number of strands, if nothing else.
Never mind that I should be drawing, or cleaning. Never mind that I'm going to forget about this in a couple of days! I'm totally going to start this!
