FlossTube 20: 3 #TinyModernistAugust New Starts and 2 Restarts

Summary AI

In this FlossTube video, Leslie shares five new starts, including two restarts, and explains her decision to switch to one strand over two on tight 32-count fabrics to ease hand strain while maintaining good coverage. She begins with 'A Boat of Magic' by The Blue Flower, stitched on 32-count Moonlit Garden Lugana by Be Stitch Me, and 'Catch Some Rays' by The Tiny Modernist, restarted on 32-count Gaia Lugana by Picture This Plus. She also introduces her Tiny Modernist August challenge, where she spins a wheel to select patterns and stitches a thousand stitches on each, starting with 'Moon Phase Bell Pull' and 'Haunted Boots'.

  • Leslie restarts two projects using one strand over two on tight 32-count fabrics to reduce hand pain.
  • She launches Tiny Modernist August, a month-long challenge stitching Tiny Modernist patterns with a spinning wheel.
  • Big Brother stitching update shows progress on a 28-count Lugana piece, with 4,676 stitches completed this week.
  • Her 'Focus on a Finish' board shows Honeybee Quaker at 66.85% complete.
  • Life update covers her work as a teacher trainer in Utah and a new mahjongg hobby.
Description from YouTube
I’m sharing five new starts (including two restarts) plus a Big Brother update, and I made a big change by switching to one strand on tight 32-count fabrics—my hand is so much happier and the coverage still looks great 😅🧵. 

I hope you’ll join me in #TinyModernistAugust !
