April WIPocalypse

I know owe you two regular updates, but I also want to use this opportunity to actually post WIPocalypse on time, so first things first! Very little has changed in the last month - I'm still working from home, still not sure where my time is vanishing to, and still having lots of fun stitching! The question of the month is Talk to us about your longest-running WIP or UFO. - and I have to admit, the answer to this question is the same as it has been for the last couple of years. My oldest UFO is a table cloth I started almost twenty years ago. I have since lost the pattern (but think I can reconstruct it from what I already stitched) and I'll probably have to re-do the parts that are already done since my stitching was quite sloppy then. I have three table clothes in my WIP pile in total, but this one is by far the worst! I do hope to at least put one rotation into it this year, though, to eventually get it done (I'm way to stubborn to give up!).

Now for my stitching - this is the place where I get to talk about The Loneliness of Autumn, which I'm stitching together with Rachel, the Ten Hour Stitcher - we're both stitching different versions of this pattern, her ten hours a month, me one length a day. I think she didn't post her progress for the month yet, but I'll try to remember and link to it once I see it!

As for me, I had a couple of nice mile stones this month! For once, I almost finished the first two rows which were pretty densely stitched ('almost' meaning I'm missing exactly one stitch in the lower right corner that is easier to reach from below). Row three is much quicker to stitch, and I almost finished another page there, but will have to dive deep into row three to get the next one done without having to 'jump' too much!

I also finished my first skein of 939 (I think I'll need a little over two in total) and I am more than halfway done with the colour now - 9.244 stitches down, 7.426 left to go. I'm at 7.78% total now, which means I'll probably fall just short of 10% next month. My total time is at 50:30h now.
