Advent Magical Mystery SAL 2020 - Part 1

Welcome to the first part of the Advent Magical Mystery SAL! As this is just four parts you will get a lot more stitches in one go each week, though I have tried to make it reasonably easy to do in the time you have till the next one.

As always I don't show my stitching till the day after to avoid spoilers before you have downloaded the pattern. Instead I'll show you what I'll be using. The fabric is Jodyri Designs August 2020 Limited Edition "Saharan Dunes" 18ct opal Aida, which is actually a bit more like a digestive biscuit (cookie for those of you in the USA, not the breadish scone) in colour. All thread colours are as per the pattern.

Now you know what I'm using I'm sure you are keen to get the pattern AND see what to expect this time!

Colours used this time:

• Colour B (DMC 498 on the pattern)
• Colour D (DMC 699 on the pattern)
  
• Colour F (DMC 680 on the pattern)

Number of stitches:

• 80 - in Colour B
• 176 - in Colour D
  
• 240 - in Colour F

For a total of 496 stitches for this part.

You can find the pattern here

See you tomorrow for the next part of the Mini Magical Mystery SAL 17!

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 tags to use are: #MagicalMysterySAL or #AdventMagicalMysterySAL - let's make the world see what we are up to!

PS: Don't forget you can ask all your questions in the comments below and there is a Facebook group to share your stitching results etc. which you can find here.
