Anna Millet 1895 - WIP update

Click on the picture for a closeup view

Now that Yuko has re-started our Anna Millet 1895 SAL, I decided to put a few more stitches into my Anna. I am really enjoying this SAL although I am starting to worry slightly that I will not have enough thread to finish it! It is stitched with HDF OMG Red 1149; I thought I had 4 skeins which I had wound onto micro spools but I have now discovered that one spool is not OMG Red but Perfect Red 6217 which is an almost identical red. I have a mini on its way here but if anyone has a skein/micro/mini of 6SR OMG Red 1149 (08.08.10) that they are willing to part with, I would love to hear from you - my email address is on my profile. I have posted on the HDF forum but as yet no-one has offered one with that particular date. In the meantime, I will continue to stitch and be even more frugal than usual. I shall jump around too so if I have to use a different dyelot it won't all be in one place.

Thanks for visiting

Take care

Anna is coming along so nicely! Good luck with the thread search. I love the color that you're using, but unfortunately don't have any.

Carol, you're making such fantastic progress with this and it's looking stunning. Can't wait to see Yuko's too. Her work is always beautiful.
I hope you manage to find the thread. So far I've only found OMG 1151 Sorry :>)
