Here's a double update, since I forgot to post last month. It's been a busy summer, hot and sticky, not my fave, anyway.... Previous progress:
I gave it two stitchathons weekends, for a total of just over 3,000 stitches. Now:
So, we have Rabbit and a bit more of Pooh's red t shirt. Rabbit turned out cute enough with tons of fractional stitches and several close shades of yellow and brown. He will come alive with backstitch, eventually (as will Eyeore). The empty space on the far left will be Tigger pushing Piglet in a wheelbarrow or something. The rest of the empty stitches will be done with blending filament. I'll probably work on those areas at the end of September, and then I'll have a page finish (page 3/4). I'm slowing down on this piece, I think, just for the rest of the year. There's another 2 full coverage piece in my rotation that I'd like to finish this year, and I'm happy to carry Pooh over to next year, when I may pick up the pace a little.
