    I attended Frogwarts for the first time this year and selected Hogsmeade because I didn't know what to expect. I'll definitely get sorted into a house next year, though. A lot of the challenges looked like fun! You had great tips for participating in the challenges! Thanks for a great video!

    I love having a full set of DMC - I acquired it over time during sales. It is interesting to look at some of the colors and see how they've changed. I try to keep two full skeins in reserve; the hardest part for me is keeping my spreadsheet updated when I open a skein. I forgot that the Park Hopper Bart piece used etoile. I haven't started it yet, but now that I hear you talk about it I was thinking it was a good excuse to try etoile and see what I thought of it. My Hobby Lobby had all of their colors on clearance and I didn't get any because I didn't care for how it felt in the skein, and it looked "messy" - that's the best word I can think of. I enjoyed this section, and I've seen the final one posted.. I hope to get to watch it soon! 🪡👠

    • @Geekywitch
      @Geekywitch Рік тому

      I'm definitely glad that I tried the Etoile. I'll try anything. But like everybody else... there's stuff I work with well, and stuff that I don't. Etoile and I are... not friends. :)

    *whispers* finish it, finish it! Let’s see Apache and your fair piece done! Paper charts are lovely when you have a power outage, you don’t need to worry about your device running out of juice. I take photos of color charts so I can “paint” over it because highlighter is basically invisible on certain charts.

    • @Geekywitch
      @Geekywitch Рік тому

      Yeah... I don't like color charts for that reason - hard to highlight. There definitely will be some love given to those projects, I promise! There's a stitch challenge for backstitching this weekend for Frogwarts, so Apache's going to get at least an hour of love before Sunday afternoon.
