Posts: 456 12/26/2007 7:04 PM ModMatMommyModerator	Tags : None So in an effort to add some progress to all my neglected WIPs I've pulled out Midnight Hunting. I just finished off another wing ridge. They are a total PITA to stitch but look so good when done. Now to take a nice break from fractionals and stitch some webbing instead. Then I'll move on to stitching some border as I have learned my lesson and will not leave all the border to the end ever again. Then I'll be rotating on to my TWs. Jen From SF Bay Area, CA

Of course, first I need to get my stitching mojo back (I'm mostly knitting at the moment ...) That said, go on, Jen, it will be so worth it. Cheers, Sapphire (and a happy new year)

I loved the way those wing spines came out but really tried hard to avoid putting you through that again. Dawn just has backstitching and wrap through thread. Sarah.

Posts: 456 01/01/2008 2:02 AM ModMatMommyModerator	Well I got through the border. And yes it's easier than the ridges, but it's not the dragon which is the coolest part of the design let's face it. However, I feel the dragon would be naked without the border so I have to stitch it as well. It just doesn't give the same amount of joy to see it come together as seeing the dragon take shape. And Sarah, even though the ridges are fractional hell, the piece overall doesn't have that many fractionals so it's not so bad overall the way some TWs can be. However, they really work where they are used so I'm happy to muddle through them even if I curse myself for missing a quarter stitch here and there. Heck I can't name one TW that has such large blocks of solid color like you have in the webbing so MH by default has to be easier than a TW right? Jen From SF Bay Area, CA

Posts: 488 01/02/2008 7:06 AM	Sounds like you are making great progress Jen. I've never done MH, but overall find Dracolair's easier to stitch than TWs. But I love stitching both equally - it depends what mood I'm in....

Posts: 456 02/06/2008 4:31 PM ModMatMommyModerator	Well I pulled this piece out again. I'm now working on the wing ridge above where I last stopped. I hope this time around to finish the wing and plug away at the border some more. I may even finish the stitching on the bottom right corner page. Well I'm almost done stitching that wing. I hope today to move on to stitching the border again. Jen From SF Bay Area, CA Last Edited By: jenharper 02/13/2008 1:25 PM. Edited 1 time.

Posts: 456 03/07/2008 7:18 PM ModMatMommyModerator	OK I went AWOL on my rotation for a few weeks there as life went a bit insane and I had a need to stitch new things. Things are beginning to get back to normal so I've now slotted the one big new start into my rotation and I'm now picking up where I left off. I now have 1.5 border repeats to stitch before I move on in my rotation plans. I've already gotten through 1.5 of them. Jen From SF Bay Area, CA

Posts: 456 01/18/2009 12:26 AM ModMatMommyModerator	Well it's been almost a year since I touched this lovely dragon. But she is back in the snaps and getting some much deserved love and attention. This is a good thing since I still have Noon Basking and Dawn Awakening to stitch, not to mention the upcoming release of Evening Dreaming. Well progress is progress I say. Jen From SF Bay Area, CA

Posts: 456 04/07/2009 8:02 PM ModMatMommyModerator	I know I owe an update photo here from last time, however, I thought you all might be happy to hear, even without the update photo, I have pulled this piece out of the baggie to be worked on again. I'm working on the tail and top right border and corner Motif this time around. Hope to make a good bit of progress. Jen From SF Bay Area, CA

Posts: 456 07/01/2009 12:03 AM ModMatMommyModerator	Well I finally picked this back up as I kind of got half way in and things just kept getting in the way. I finished what I really wanted as a minimum in the border. And I've finished most of her tail. That may be it for this rotation slot as I am going on vacation. After vacation it'll be time to move on in my rotation again. Not as much as I was hoping, but progress none the less. Jen From SF Bay Area, CA
