The Triplets #2

Wow, what a wonderful long weekend of stitching and taking the dogs to the beach.

I managed to finish off the letters M, N and G on The Triplets kit, so I think that is pretty good going.

I must admit, I am not all that impressed with the kit unfortunately - a number of symbols in the pattern don't match the colour chart, so it is a matter of guesswork for some areas. Also, the overlap on the charts is done in a different way to every chart I have ever used before, so I've stitched one row too many on the N. Hopefully it won't spoil the final product, and I think if I hadn't mentioned it, no-one would have noticed. It does mean you have to pay close attention to the overlaps when stitching though.


Here is a picture of Clarence (the white one) and Cheese (the red one) in the water at the beach at Urquart's Bluff near Aireys Inlet.


They had a fantastic time and I think we wore them out as they both slept all the way home today in the backseat of the car!

  

Happy Stitching,
Kerrie
