2020/2021 NYE Mystery SAL - Part 8

Welcome to part eight of the NYE Mystery SAL! It's been lovely seeing all of your progress pictures in the FB Mystery group! It's a lot of fun seeing things progress with the colours you are all using! Having given you the most stitches of this SAL in part six, I am now giving you the least stitches in this SAL! From now on it's mostly 68 stitches per part, with a few 64 stitch parts for variation.

As for mine… you can clearly see that there is some overlap between the variegated threads, especially after part seven!

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

Colours used this time:

• Colour B (DMC 809 on the pattern)

Number of stitches:

• 60 — in Colour B

For a total of 60 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!
