It’s time for another SAL update. I’m stitching one of the Roll Your Own designs from Ink Circles.
This is where I got up to last time.
I’ve started to add the colours and I really like the effect so far. I’m enjoying stitching this one, so much so that I’m thinking of making it bigger. There’s a small design included in the chart pack and it could probably be adapted to make a wide border. I’ll make a decision about that when I’m closer to finishing all the colouring in. It is Roll Your Own after all :-).
Please check out what everyone else has been up to by clicking their names below. We live all over the world so you may need to allow for time differences as we’re posting today at local time.

About the SAL
Please note this SAL is not accepting any more new members until further notice but this is what it’s all about anyway. This SAL (Stitch Along) is slightly different to other SALs in that we don’t all stitch the same design at the same rate. We choose ONE unfinished project, or ONE new one, and show progress of its completion over a series of three weekly updates. There are no deadlines and no set amount to stitch. The result is that the space in our drawers full of WIPs (works in progress) is gradually being freed up to store lots of new crafty goodness. It’s surprising how much motivation I’ve gained from being in this SAL.

/ October 9, 2022I thought this was great when it was just the black outline, but with the addition of the colors, this is wonderful. It looks like a stained glass window. I love it!
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ October 26, 2022You’re right. The designer suggests colourways and I stuck quite closely to one of them without buying more threads.

/ October 9, 2022I think the outlining would drive me mad, but I love the colour shading!
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ October 26, 2022I enjoyed doing all the counting knowing the colours would be next.
Sharon
/ October 9, 2022I thought the black was stunning and so dramatic but WOW – the color really takes this to a new level of gorgeous!
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ October 26, 2022The designer suggests several different colourways. I stuck quite closely to one of them but substituted shades where I didn’t have the exact colours.

/ October 9, 2022That is a lot of progress – loving the colours. It reminds me of neurographic art.
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ October 26, 2022Oh I see what you mean, except it’s more organised/symmetrical.
Christina
/ October 9, 2022Great progress! Love the ombre look of the purple 💜
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ October 26, 2022Me too. After the black I was thinking I’d done all the counting and was a bit disappointed but the shading is worth doing.

I’m doing one of Tracey’s designs too, Red Velvet (but in blue).
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ October 26, 2022Welcome! I love all the Ink Circles monochrome designs and I’ve stitched several of those but not Red Velvet. They’re so simple yet so effective.
