Stormwind Map now:
I got the banner stitched! Wheee! And you can actually read it! Mostly I have decided that all of the text that will be on this thing isn't really going to be perfectly legible, but that's okay because anybody who is really going to appreciate it already knows what it says. They know it's Stormwind and they know which section is the Dwarven District and which is the Mage Quarters, etc. By convincing myself that the entire project is a stitching of a drawing of a map and more artistic than functional, so to speak, I was able to get my pedantry to sit down and shut up. But, all the same, I am quite pleased that this part is actually legible. Sure, the r and m are a touch muddled, but all in all I think it's pretty good.
Which is great because up close things looked a little dubious on that score.
I made excellent progress on stocking 1 this weekend too. The six row repeat in this simple lace pattern is really easy to memorize and knitting it is has been very enjoyable. My hands get tired long before I do.
