FlossTube Extra - over 1,000,000 Stitches GeckoRouge Unboxing

Summary AI

Anna, host of the FlossTube channel Alchemist Stitcher, films an unboxing of her long-awaited GeckoRouge kit, 'Garden Cupboard' by Colin Thompson. She explains that this is her 'million stitch project of a lifetime', with a stitch count of 147,696, and that she has been eagerly waiting for the package to arrive from the UK to Southern California. The video shows her opening the large box, which contains two smaller boxes, and she goes through the contents: parchment-wrapped kits, a cardstock picture of the design, instructions, floss cards, a needle minder, and a large piece of fabric. She notes that GeckoRouge kits do not disclose DMC numbers unless you purchase charts separately, and that the kit includes 151 colours across four thread cards. She also explains her decision to order the 28-count kit but request 25-count fabric, as she plans to stitch one over one on 25-count, which reduces the cost and amount of thread. Anna admits the project feels daunting, especially the fabric prep and storage, and calculates that stitching 133 stitches a day would take 22 years to finish before retirement. She plans to start prepping and stitching soon, though she jokes she may need a pillowcase to store the fabric.
