It's been quite some time since my last post but i kept stitching and hopefully you did that too.
Let's see what i've been up to:
-Finished the Stitchig Gainz challenge;
-Finished the second part of the #100daysofHAED challenge;
-Finished the #StitchAroundTheWorld challenge.
All three were done on Spiders Queen and here she is at the moment:

Now she will take a nap...
-Finished the 2500 crosses challenge in the "For the love of diagonal stitching" fb group.
-Finished the 2000 crosses for the month of November working on the diagonal on
WWAWMC.
Both challenges were hosted by the sweet Karen, who you can find also on Youtube here.
Yes, i've converted this project from a sort of cross country to diagonal. This stitching method is now my way to go to face the many changes of colors of the Max Colors chart. Yes, there are many instance of threading and re-threading the needle but working every little row after row (10 crosses wide) down the diagonal without leaving blank holes in the squares is perfect for me and it reduces the risk of missing a stitch.
The other news i want to share with you all is that i'm now using Pattern Keeper to search and mark my stitches. This app is simple to use but it's become a great help. There's also a fb group for support, in case you need it.
If you stitch you must try it, i promise you won't regret spending a little sum for puchasing this app after the two weesk trial.
Sadly, at the moment this wonderful app is only available for Android (after the 5.0 release) or, if you're like me and stitch from a pc, you can download it after having installed Bluestacks 4.
Let me know what you think!
I'll take my leave now, happy stitching.
See you soon,
