‘Palace of the Winds’ – Final Tuesday!

 I’m doing a happy dance today, and the reason, last night (Tuesday) I finished my 2^nd oldest wip.

 ‘Palace of the Winds’  was started on January 14^th last year and I picked it up and stitched on it for a total of 51 days in all.

Thanks  Jan Hicks Creates  for such a beautiful pattern. 

I loved stitching it, although I’ll be honest and admit that I had several visits from the frogs,  because apparently I’m naff at counting, Lol!

This was an intricate pattern, so I thought I would give Pattern Keeper a go for the first time and got great satisfaction watching the number of stitches count down from 24,908 as I marked them off.

The closer it was getting to 0, the more I wanted to stitch on it.

I finished up having 2 stitches left to complete according to the app, but I just couldn’t see where they were, so I asked for some help in the ‘Pattern Keeper’ Facebook group to see if there was an easy way to find them.   

Several lovely ladies offered advice and in the end I was able to spot them, put in the final 2 stitches, and it was showing 100% stitched, so a big thank you to everyone who answered to my cry for help.

The next stop is to get it to Frames of London and find the perfect frame.
