In keeping with the theme of yesterday's post. Here's another random finish on something I haven't posted on in a while. October 30th of last year to be exact. Not as long ago as Dragon Game, but close enough.
I never added this to the WIP page because all I had left was back stitching and I figured I'd get that done quickly. However, I had a large aversion to back stitching, I guess, and just never finished it up. At least until today, or last night, depending on how you look at things.
I had the first dragon done shortly after my last post. Today (Yesterday) I did the other three.
And finally a very small project that should have taken less than a week is done in a little over a year.
And now it's time for bed. Good Night!

Dragon Game: Second Post - Complete
The last time I blogged about this was over two years ago. Wow, time flies.
It was stitching along quickly and then I started working on a dark brown color. It wasn't until after I'd finished the color that I realized I used 3371 instead of 3031. I thought I'd be able to just leave it and go on my way. However the color was way too different. So I had to frog all the stitches, 328 stitches. Now the problem was I had also stitched the black, and it was very difficult to tell the difference between 310 and 3371. I picked it back up about 10 days ago determined to get it back on track.
After I finished frogging and restitching I was happy that I had decided to redo it.
And since it was small, I kept going...
And going...
Until it was done.

The next long abandoned project is SK Magical Arrival. I lost my progress on my chart back when my hard drive crashed. I have no idea which colors I've stitched and which I have not. I need to work it through and figure it out so I can finish him up. According to my last post he's over 78% complete and I'd stitched a bit more after that post.
