The Spring Magical Mystery SAL 2020 - Part 8

Welcome to part eight of the Spring Mystery SAL! After the single colour of stitching in the previous part you now get all four colours in this part - please take care to make sure you got them all - the numbers are below, the pointers are in the pattern.


This is what part seven looked like after I'd stitched it - it was a single colour so nice and fast as it only took me about 25 minutes to stitch! One thing I noticed this time was that the lightest part of the light green is very yellowish, so yellowish that it looks like the light yellow! it will give an interesting result in the end!


Colours used this time:
  • Colour A (DMC 445 on the pattern)
  • Colour B (DMC 307 on the pattern) 
  • Colour C (DMC 368 on the pattern)
  • Colour D (DMC 320 on the pattern)
Number of stitches:
  • 8 - in Colour A
  • 4 - in Colour B
  • 24 - in Colour C
  • 52 - in Colour D
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 four 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:  #SpringMysterySAL - let's make the world see what we are up to!

    1. With careful counting when I remove stitches from the pattern to make the parts :) There are 10 parts of the 18 that have 88 stitches. That's why there are sometimes just a few stitches in a colour.
