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

This is beautiful! It is like watching an artist painting with one colour at a time.

You can see the difference you are making in your progress pictures.

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

Ooh, love the new colour!

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..

This is so dramatic looking, lovely work on this one and I'm so glad you take the time to take photos the same to show off the difference. I know the time it takes, and we appreciate it!

It is looking fabulous Rachel! You can really see where you stitched the red color. I see a little yellow there and look forward to seeing a bunch more!
