Flosstube 32: Mid-August Update at 3:30am

Summary AI

In Flosstube 32, Elizabeth (host of Elaestitches) shares a mid-August update filmed at 3:30am due to her husband's unusual work schedule. She recaps the first half of August, during which she stitched 6,276 stitches across multiple projects. She discusses progress on her large full-coverage pieces, including Summer Moon and From the Ashes (both charted by Artecy from artwork by Abraham Hunter), as well as Bunkers Abound (charted by Charting Creations from artwork by Joe Sambataro). She also covers her category stitching rotation, inspired by Jen the Caffeinated Crafter, and shares plans for the upcoming week, including a focus on the 'furniture' category. Elizabeth also mentions her knitting project, a pair of socks, and her habit of listening to Critical Role while stitching.

  • Stitched 6,276 stitches over the last two weeks.
  • Summer Moon is 22.9% complete; From the Ashes is 12.6% complete.
  • Finished a partial page on From the Ashes but ran out of a colour.
  • Started a new rotation on Bunkers Abound using the row-by-row method.
  • Worked on Joyful World SAL for the 'snow' category and Christmas Village Ornaments for 'interiors'.
  • Plans to work on Flower Dragon Meadow for the 'furniture' category next week.
