Floss tube #39 Big bird is back!

Summary AI

Robin Thrifty Artist Stitching shares a September update, starting with her large focus project, 'Yin-Yang Earthly Friends' by Heaven and Earth Designs, which she affectionately calls 'Big Bird'. She recounts a frustrating week of frogging over 800 stitches due to counting errors, but remains determined to continue stitching from the bottom up. She also shows a new start, 'Harvest Honey Town' by Tiny Town, and a finish, the 'Nantucket Sewing Set' by Stacy Nash, which she converted to Gentle Arts threads. Robin then discusses her other WIPs, including aquatic-themed projects from August, and outlines her plans for the coming weeks, including a modified 'Grid Iron Grind' stitching game based on Alabama football games.

• Big Bird progress: over 8,000 stitches in August, nearing 75,000 total, despite frogging 800 stitches due to counting mistakes.
• New start: 'Harvest Honey Town' by Tiny Town, stitched on 28ct evenweave with fancy flosses.
• Finish: 'Nantucket Sewing Set' by Stacy Nash, stitched on 32ct Vintage Atlantic, with a colour conversion to Gentle Arts.
• WIPs include 'Liberty Bay', 'Lena Over Mermaid', 'Summer Quaker', 'Lighthouse', 'Ocean View Drum', and 'One Strand a Day Olga'.
• Plans: four wheel spins per week, a new start on Saturdays, and 'Summer Quaker' as her Grid Iron Grind project.
• Upcoming trip to New Mexico, with plans to visit The Silver Needle in Tulsa and knit dishcloths for her daughter.
