More fantasy

Lakeside Needlecraft fantasy SAL hit my interests right on the head. I've always been one for fantasy stories, wizards, dragons...

Over the years I have stitched a number of designs, from small and simple to more in depth and complicated ones. One of my favourite designers for these is Teresa Wenzler, these have been stitched on evenweave which makes it much easier to do any (or should I say the many) fractional stitches

I don't tend to keep a note of how long each piece takes me to complete, though I do try to remember to put a date on them somewhere.

This one I have a distinct recollection of stitching when I was in a shared flat as a student, so that would have been 1992 probably and it was the first of this complexity that I finished. Typically, once I got it framed I noticed a missing stitch, sigh.

I really should start noting the designer/pattern on the back of the frame, it would be nice to know more detail looking back, and I have remembered to do that on my most recent completions.

I'm not one for naming my characters (I know a lot of people are doing on the Fantasy and Under the Sea SALs) but for some reason this unintimidating dragon ended up being called Andrew!
