My cat gobelin (Part 2)
Comments (0) Filed under: Gobelin, needlepointTags: cat, Gobelin, needlepoint
I’m still working at my cat gobelin.
I know it will take a month or so to finish it but I just realized something: I’ve been working so far with just 6 colors.
The gobelin has 28 color threads.
So, about 60% of the gobelin is made out of 6 colors and the rest 40% is made of 22 colors. Wow! This is a shocker to me; cause that means it will take even more time to finish it. It will probably take more time changing the thread in the needle then to actually work on the gobelin.
Also, I noticed there are some portions of the gobelin where there are many colors mixed together. Well, I can’t back out now. I like the model so I will just have to suck it up and finish it.
And, just to not get bored with the current colors I did a few stitches with a shade of red just to keep me going.
