Does anyone else just not seem to be able to do it? I am messing around with it for Santa's Pets, since it takes so long to change out the colors, but I just can't make it happen in a way that makes sense. I thought my stair-step method would make it easier, but do you stitch every square of that color in the box with the same length of thread? How does that affect the way the back looks? And if you don't, do you work every vertical row?
We watched Paddington tonight. I had attempted to take Kay-kay to see it when it first came out in theatres last year. She was too young, though, so we left about 30 minutes into the movie. (She did the same with Inside Out, the reason we won't see movies in the theatre til she is 6 or 7; the surround sound is overwhelming to her). It was pretty good. Strange to see the Earl of Grantham not at Downton, LOL. Not sure I like Nicole Kidman as a villain. She was so good in Cold Mountain, even if that wasn't how I pictured that character. I should have paid more attention to my stitching, though--I had to unpick about 50 stitches for watching the movie, not counting. Oops. And I seem to have misplaced my bobbin of 841. How did that happen? I know I have more of that color, though.
Not a long post. I am very tired, so am headed off for bed. I hope everyone is having a great week.

I thought you meant car parking! I've never mastered that kind of parallel parking. As for the stitchy type, I rarely use that technique. Gets too confusing and if the colors are close in shade, it makes it even worse for me. But I don't do those large projects with tons of colors any more either.
My husband is a neat freak so I need to put everything away when I am not working on it. So parking seems to me something that you need to leave up on a scroll frame. Needless to say, I haven't gotten it either.
