Jumping off Trees - Lockdown SAL

Whilst not recommended in real life, it's the measure that I am using for most of the SAL, for where to measure my next stitches from.

Lots of progress, as you can see below, and on my BFF's blog

This time we began our joint march into the variegated green, you'll see from our blogs that we have both done this very differently, the variation is perhaps more apparent on here, as you see on the left hand side.  We saved the first time to do together, but not sure that this will be a common practice.

What did I make of the variegated?  Hmm?  Well... it's different. It requires a different mindset, as it's recommended to stitch one full stitch at a time.  I'm quite happy that the darker end of my variegated thread ended up underneath the medium trees, but right now the colour combination feels a bit 'off' against the minty green of the grass on the right hand side.  I shall reserve judgement until we get more of the pattern stitched.

My plan for next week is to continue on up the medium trees, I'm enjoying trees, did I mention that once or twice?  And maybe spread sideways into the house, but right now I'm enjoying stitching with 2 threads, so maybe I will save the skinny stuff till later...who knows.  Stay tuned to find out more.
