WIP-it Wednesday...

...and the latest progress photo of the mermaid.

I'm working in three areas of the chart:

• Her neck
• Her hair
• The foam in her arms that trails off into the water

The easiest section to work on are her neck and hair. I find the metallics in the foam area very tiring, so it's nice to switch off with her neck and hair. As I encounter them in the foam area, I do the floss stitches first and then do the metallic stitches. There's still a ton of metallic stitching to do.

WIPs Roll Call

Worked On:

• Attic Windows quilt for me (quilting)
  I finally found a beach fabric that I think will work. This is good because, I need to cross stitch something for San Jose State. I can't find a vintage t-shirt to use for that square.
• Charred Teal Shawl (knitting) [Ravelry]
  Finished the first contrasting color. Still doing the 2-steps-forward-1-step-back dance. Started and restarted contrasting color 2.
