Summary AI

In Flosstube episode 97, Cat Griffin shares her weekly cross-stitch progress, focusing on two full-coverage pieces: 'The Magic of Books' by Charting Creations and 'Map of Middle Earth' by Ankicoleman Designs. She shows her work on page five of 'The Magic of Books' and discusses her plans to finish it soon. She also mentions her rotating projects, including a Janlynn 'Stack of Books' kit and a Hogwarts snow globe kit, and gives a shout-out to several fellow stitchers and shops.

  • Cat shows progress on 'The Magic of Books', page five, and praises the detailed chart by N. Northup.
  • She discusses her other full-coverage piece, 'Map of Middle Earth', noting it is confetti-heavy and slow-going.
  • Cat mentions her rotating projects, including a Janlynn 'Stack of Books' kit she is not enjoying and a Hogwarts snow globe kit she will work on next.
  • She gives shout-outs to 14 Flosstube channels, including NacNeedlework, a local shop with hand-dyed fabrics.
  • Cat talks about finishing the TV series 'Vera' and starting 'Death in Paradise', and mentions a book series she read.
  • She apologizes for audio issues and plans to buy an external microphone.
Description from YouTube
I think the sound is better this time, but I will be getting an external mic to help even more - I hope.  
Thank you to everyone who is watching my videos!  You don't know how much I appreciate it!  If you could stay until the end of the video - let it run while you do something else even - that would help me out a lot.  Thank you and Happy Stitching!
