Mini Magical Mystery SAL 5 - Final Post

Welcome back for the final post of the fifth Mini Magical Mystery SAL! Don't worry it's not over - the Mini Magical Mystery SAL 6 starts in an hour! This post is just a final post showing my stitching of part fourteen and what I have done with my version.  I do hope you all had fun! I have loved seeing your stitching in the Facebook group!

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 5 - Part 14

Welcome back for day fourteen of the fifth round of mystery stitching! This is also the final day of patterns for this SAL - I'll be back one more time to show what I have made tomorrow (an hour earlier than usual). The next round of the Mini Magical Mystery will start tomorrow at noon as per the information post.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 5 - Part 13

Welcome back for day thirteen of the fifth round of mystery stitching! Just one more part to go and this SAL is over - I really do hope you are enjoying the mysteries as the next one starts on Monday! Don't forget to share your progress in the Magical Mystery SAL Facebook group, it's really inspiring to see what you are doing with yours!

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 5 - Part 12

Welcome back for day twelve of the fifth round of mystery stitching! I got a lot of positive responses to the question about a summer mystery SAL and so I'll get plotting - I have no idea yet about things as it's not designed yet but I thought it best to ask before designing. I'll give more information as soon as I have it.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 5 - Part 11

Welcome back for day eleven of the fifth round of mystery stitching! I hope you like how the pattern has been progressing - we'll be doing something about the empty bit in the corners today! Last night while doing a chunk of backstitch for some finishing of another project I wondered if anyone might be interested in a summer Mystery SAL. It would be similar to my other mysteries but then with just one part a day with maybe 100 - 150 stitches max each (for reference: normally you get six parts per 24 hours with 80-100 stitches each, so 480 - 600 stitches per 24 hours) so that you have more time to stitch and more chance of keeping up during the busy summer months. Let me know what you think in the comments or in the fb group!

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 5 - Part 10

Welcome back for day ten of the fifth round of mystery stitching! We have hit the double digits now and that means that this Mini Magical Mystery SAL is almost over - the information post for the next one should be up soon - it's basically the same as this one but with the dates changed. Also up soon is the pattern I designed to go on the back, or as an ending, or as an individual stitch, or whatever you want to make with it. I think that with lockdowns ending for some it might be time to share it even though for me it's not over yet.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 5 - Part 9

Welcome back for day nine of the fifth round of mystery stitching! Today I had the fun of going out to get the blood test that was scheduled for two weeks ago but cancelled due to Corona - funnily enough my Dr wanted it done after all to see if the "new" meds (as of last December) were doing their job. Oh well... off I go again! On the plus side that DID get me up and about nice and early so there is that.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 5 - Part 8

Welcome back for day eight of the fifth round of mystery stitching! Day eight has arrived and with it snake heads? Well that's one way to get rid of the octopus! (... Or did it?) If you aren't seeing what I'm seeing that's fine, I have a bit of an overactive imagination and see shapes everywhere hehe.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 5 - Part 7

Welcome back for day seven of the fifth round of mystery stitching! We have reached another half way point! Our octopus is getting added to today - I wonder if you can guess where it's going to get stitches added tomorrow?

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 5 - Part 6

Welcome back for day six of the fifth round of mystery stitching! As I was stitching part five I kept on thinking of skeletal frog's legs - I think it was partly due to the green some of them are. I'm glad to say that today's part will hide them again! If you saw a phantom entry in your RSS feed that's all my fault - I hit the wrong button in my pre-caffeinated state.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 5 - Part 5

Welcome back for day five of the fifth round of mystery stitching! I have noticed that some of you have started to get pretty experimental with thread use - such fun! These little things are perfect for trying out new to you thread on a manageable scale - if it turns out to be horrible thread you know you don't have much to do with it (or rip out) and if you love it you know that you need to find a bigger project to use it on!

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 5 - Part 4

Welcome back for day four of the fifth round of mystery stitching! I managed to get the coffee stain mostly out so I decided to keep the square I'd backstitched. Having washed it I felt it best not to iron the fabric dry in case some of the coffee stain was still there and I didn't want to risk heat setting it (just working on the basis that things that have been washed and dried in the drier tend to retain stains better than if they had been line dried). As a result I didn't get to stitching parts one and two till later in the day when it was fully dry.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 5 - Part 3

Welcome back for day three of the fifth round of mystery stitching! I'm still running behind with my stitching - I'd planned to do it last night but stuff happened that needed dealing with and stitching was put aside (and then of course there are the usual distractions that happen when you put something aside for a moment).

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 5 - Part 2

Welcome back for day two of the fifth round of mystery stitching! I'm definitively running behind schedule today - and that also means my stitching didn't get finished so there's not much to show today, Everyone has days like this so you know what I mean when I say it felt like nothing went to plan. However I still have the rest of today to catch up as I did get the stitching for tonight's post done yesterday!

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 5 - Part 1

Welcome back for day one of the fifth round of mystery stitching! So good to see you return for another round of mystery stitching! It's been great watching your mysteries grow as the patterns happen! Some of you are not sure what to do for a back and others may want to commemorate what they have done with something too - for them I have made a pattern that I will give in a separate post before too long - I'll be adding mine to the end of the chain so won't be adding it till the very end.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 5 - Information Post

Hi and welcome to the fifth information post for a Mini Magical Mystery SAL! With lockdowns still enforced for many people I'm continuing with another mystery to keep you stitching! This pattern is the same size as the other four and has around the same number of stitches as the third and fourth mysteries. This mystery will start the day after the current mystery ends: 11th May.
