Staying with the Halloween theme for summer start number 5, this cute Soda Stitch chart has been high on my to-do list for quite a while.
I was really looking forward to working solely on the little witch over the weekend but the first stitch didn't actually go in until 11.45pm Saturday! At least I got a couple of hours in on Sunday to make up for it. Here's my start on her hair and adorable little hat:
Stitched on 16ct Dusky Sky over-dyed aida by sewitall.com
Stitch count 60 wide by 55 high
Stitching time to date - 2 hours 35 minutes
And here's how she will look when finished (without the numbers):
Those with a very keen eye may have noticed I've changed the aida colour since teasing this as a new start. My original choice was a sort of dirty browny/greeny mixture called Smudge. However, when I purchased this Dusky Sky fabric I immediately fell in love with the steely blue/grey colours (even though the screen picture indicated it was a mid-dark grey!) There would have been nothing wrong with using Smudge but the characters have a cute and fun element which I think is more suited to a less-dreary colour. Needless to say, I'm delighted with my swap.
I'll be using this fabric again next weekend.
Take care,

Great start on a very cute project! That is a good fabric choice.
She really is a cute one, and the new fabric is just perfect.
That's a very cute start and I love her hair against the fabric choice.
I like the fabric your little witch is being stitched on. Cute chart.
Another cute choice! And I love the fabric choice,too.
She is a cute little chubby witch! The fabric is perfect for her.
Well, isn't she a sweetie?! Great fabric and a fun stitch.
I love this one. I don't think I have any soda stitch patterns. I might need to take care of that problem.
