The Loneliness Of Autumn - 140 hours

Hi all!

Here is February's progress on The Loneliness Of Autumn by Leonid Afremov as charted by Artecy on crosstitch.com which I am SALing with Leonore extreme cross country one colour at a time.

This month I finished colour number 5, 814. Here are the comparison pictures after the completion of the fourth and fifth colours. This is 28% complete after 18,795 stitches and 136 hours 55 minutes. You can just about make out the increase in the density of the red, especially on the middle right and bottom left:



So then it was back to the top and onto colour number six, 742, for the remainder of the ten hours. I didn't quite make it across the top row but you can definitely see the new colour emerge between the 130 and 140 hour comparison pictures:



March will be all 742, which is fantastic as not only is it such a beautiful colour to stitch but it will start to define the glow of the lights.

Take care,
Rachel x

  8. Fantastic progress, that is a great shade of yellow. Well done on getting all the photos so consistent too.

  9. Oh, how exciting! You still have those reds ahead of me but it's nice to see a yellow emerging too. Somehow your stitching looks much 'denser' at 28% than mine does, although we should have about the same ratio done..
