2019/2020 NYE Mystery SAL - Part 8

Welcome to the eighth part of the NYE Mystery SAL! With this part you have reached the end of the first 24 hours of posting - I know there are a few more hours left of those 24 hours but when the next post happens day two starts! Hopefully the larger amount of stitches of the last part didn't throw you off too much, this time you get fewer stitches.

This is what mine looks like after stitching part seven - hopefully you noticed that there is a gap in stitches in the centre of each edge!

Speaking of the edge... here is what it looks like at an angle - if you look carefully you can see the sparkle of the Etoile threads.

There are no new colours this time.

Remember to check the information sheet on the pattern for pointers as to where new stitches are added and count carefully! Also don't forget which way is up - I forgot last Mystery SAL and had to do a bit of ripping...

DET stands for DMC EToile - when making the palette for Etoile in PCStitch I wasn't allowed to re-use DMC as a code so I had to pick something else.

Colour used this time

• Colour E (DET C Blanc (white) on the pattern)
• Colour F (DET C 798 on the pattern)

Number of stitches:

• 64 - in Colour E
• 24 - in Colour F

For a total of 88 stitches for this part.

You can find the pattern here

See you for the next part of the mystery in 4 hours!

I do not expect anyone to be able to be up to date at all times during the SAL - you need to eat and sleep at the very least so expect to be "behind" part - if not all - of the time! It's part of the nature of this type of SAL for this to happen, so being "behind" is the normal state of affairs. If you are a slow stitcher expect to finish "after" the SAL has "finished" - though tbh the SAL is always available and new people find the patterns on a regular basis so it's never really over.

On all social media sites the tag to use is: #NYEMysterySAL - let's make the world see what we are up to!
