I have been trying to work on the tapestry but the change to daylight saving and the onset of winter has made a difference, seeing I tend to work on it in the afternoon, often the late afternoon. I have tried to only work in daylight and mix my wools to make colours in daylight. This has hindered my progress a little.
I also made mistakes early on with the sewing of the slits - I can see some of the stitches. Not good. I may take them out when I finish and then redo them or I may not. They are in a very dark part of the weaving, the piece is not for sale, it will be in a not very well lit place and I'll see how I feel at the time.
Probably not the best attitude but it is the attitude I have at the moment.

I am moving from the blues and purples into the reds. I don't have a lot of the more orangey reds, so it will be interesting to see what comes next. It is getting to be more and more of a piece that is going with what I have, probably a Covid thing really, despite the fact that our restrictions are almost non-existent and the virus doesn't seem to be around at the moment. I am still feeling a little cautious. My life has changed somewhat also, I don't have as many regular events in my life and am finding it rather freeing.
I will see what develops over the coming months. Life is resuming in some ways. I actually went to the football two weeks in a row! There were just over 40,000 people at the first match and more at the second. (We lost but it was still great to be out and about.)
