I'm slowly picking away at my Syre Christmas cross stitch but will need to pick up the pace now as I've just heard that the shop where I like to get my framing done is closing at the end of June, so I've got some motivation to finish it up, and quickly.
I've been working on the large snowflakes, all the while keeping an eye on my supply of white floss as it's coming to an end.
I thought I was in good shape until I looked at the pattern; I'll never have enough to do the large snowflake/doily that sits near the upper right corner, regardless of how good I am at stretching it out.
The floss that I had came with the pattern but it wasn't in town, so I thought I might be stumped. Not so - I found some today! No excuses now....M

Phew! Glad you found more white floss. This is a really pretty project. Cute clothesline! Gail at the cozy quilter
I noticed you have stitched a grid. I cross stitched a lot many years ago and have recently started a new big project. I stitched the grid which I have never done before. I noticed that you have unpicked portions. Do you unpick instead of stitching over the grid or do you unpick gradually after you work on the design?
What a pretty little piece! Don't you hate it when a local shop you love, announces it's closing? I'm sorry you ... but keep stitching so you don't miss out on the framing! That chicken game will bite you; glad you overcame on this round!! :) I'm going to browse around on your blog now ... nice to meet you! :)
