In my part of the world we say you are a fool if your passion for a pursuit overcomes all practical sense. I am a stitching fool, and I stitch foolishness.

Construction Zone

 I have been building a house.

I thought I was going to get it built in a couple of days, but like all construction projects, I have run into delays--mainly, there are way more stitches than I thought. This is Day Four and I'm still not through. Fingers crossed that today is the day.

There has also been an unnecessary cost overrun. The designer calls for a specific overdyed thread. For one stitch. One stitch only. The color is not used anywhere else in the chart.

Seriously?

I mean,  SERIOUSLY???????

I do not fault the shop that kitted the project because they were just pulling the threads the designer specified. But I would ask designers to really think if one stitch needs to be in a unique color.

Otherwise, I'm very happy with the design. I'm just ready to be done with the house.
