Lovely video Kat. You are making great progress on all of your WIPS and I enjoyed seeing them although I think I miss the original format. I’m all in for a WIP parade. I love a good WIP parade. Congrats to your lucky giveaway winner. Happy stitching, Margaret
Thank you, and especially for your thoughts on the format...there is something that is really nice but difficult to define about holding up the actual WIPs! I'm going to keep the new format for a couple more goes and then make a final decision. I think I'm going to go for the WIP parade - yay!!
Thanks for the update - love your WIPS and your general approach. Personally I prefer to see the actual pieces of work - for me, the photographs make it a bit clinical and seeing the project in question is part of the joy. But it’s your channel - you do what works for you - thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your thoughts...I am still very undecided on holding up vs. pics but that's a good way to put it, that the pics are more clinical. I feel the detail can be more easily appreciated but it does feel like maybe I'm also losing something. I'm doing a few more with pics then will go back to holding up to give each option a fair comparison! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos though 😄
Love seeing all your progress! I like the new format, agree though with another comment that I like seeing the stitches, maybe can do a close up on picture. Would love to see a WIP parade. As always, love your videos and hearing you chat about your life😊
Thank you for another lovely video, I enjoyed seeing what you have been working on. I'm stitching on the walrus as I'm watching, the 2 releases so far are adorable. I'd love to see a WIP parade.
That makes me happy to imagine you stitching the walrus whilst listening to me 😄 I've just seen part 3....sooooo cute!!! I think a WIP parade is going to happen 😄
I finally broke down and got the Deadly Aquarium and all the materials. I’m so excited to start but not ready yet. Love the updates and that project bag!! Yes yes yes to the WIP Parade!! There can never be too many!❤😮😊
Yay!!!! I'm so excited for you to stitch the Deadly Aquarium and sure you won't regret it 😄 Exhibit 7 is another awesome one so I'm hoping to make some progress on Sunday...on exhibit 5 😂 It's good to hear you're up for the WIP parade because I'm definitely going to do it!!
In also like the new format…good to see your stitching closer up. My goodness, you’re an ambitious stitcher … soooo many wips Can’t wait to see how you organized your fabrics. As always, love your videos & now you’re so close to 6,000 subscribers… yea‼ wish we were getting some rain..it’s currently 101 in north Texas 🥵
Thanks Dianne, and I'm glad you enjoyed the new format 😄 Ambitious is one word for it...😂 I've just filmed my WIP parade and had more than I thought 😬 You are right...I am very close to my next subscriber milestone which is amazing to me and I am so grateful for you and all my other lovely subscribers 😊
Hi Kat! Je viens de découvrir ta chaîne et j’ai adoré ce que tu nous présentes! Le dragon va être une splendeur! J’ai adoré ta sorcière ainsi que ta Rossa! Je devrais commencer ma Cordélia d’ici la fin de l’année. Merci ma belle et à bientôt! Salutations du Québec!💜💜💜
Hello and welcome! It's lovely to have you here and to know you are enjoying my stitching 😄 I love Cordelia; such a beautiful design 😍 I hope you have a fabulous time stitching her 🪡😄🩷
Good to catch up ☺ I love the new format although I wonder if we lose some of the magic of the fabric colour with the still but I love the size of the new images and your arrows. Whatever is better for you really, I will enjoy your content whichever way. ☺
Thank you 😊 I had wondered the same thing about using photos instead of actual WIPs. I know I can get pretty good colour representation on the photos otherwise I definitely wouldn't do it, but it's still not quite the same. I'll do a few more with the new format and then decide. I'm glad you are still enjoying it anyway 😄
If only I had your self control 😂 I'm coming to terms with my growing WIP list and SALs that I'm not keeping up with! Spoiler alert...I did finish the walrus though so I am actually up to date with that SAL - yay!!
I was sceptical about the photos when you said that’s what you were doing, but it worked really well! Id be happy with either way in future videos. JOLLY JULY ❤😉 you should definitely do it! And of course who doesn’t love a WIP Parade, you should definitely do one of those too x
I was pretty nervous if the pictures would be a huge mistake but it did turn out well and seems lots of folks liked it so I'll carry on for a few more videos and then decide. Jolly July is on!!!! And yup, WIP parade will be happening too 😄
Another great video, can't believe I won!! Thank you so much came at a very good time ❤....Would love to see a WIP Parade, I bought PFC Chromatic Dragon because of you 😂 so this could get dangerous😂
Great update as always! Personally I do miss actually seeing the stitches on the camera instead of pictures, but that's just me! Amazing progress as always. Sorceress is looking great! :). Happy stitching!
Thanks Andrew 😊 Sorceress is progressing really well and I'm loving every stitch 😄 That was my worry with the new format that it would feel somehow less 'personal' and there's something more tangible about seeing the actual stitching, but I think I'll give it a go for at least 1 or 2 more episodes before I decide.
Hey Kat. Absolutely two thumbs up for the new way of presenting the progress of your projects. 👍👍 It makes it very clear and easy to see (I like that you include arrows, too 😁). You put so much time and effort into your videos, so thank you. And only you would be so concerned about the welfare of your new stash, that one piece of fabric shouldn't travel alone! 🤣
Thanks so much, it's great to have your feedback on the new format...maybe not quite as easy for me as I thought once I decided to faff about inserting arrows but I did feel they were worth it! I'm definitely building up a long list of fairly spurious 'reasons I just had to buy more new stash' 😂
Yay! Thanks so much and it's really helpful to know you enjoyed the new format and that it did achieve what I was hoping with being able to really see the details 😄
Hello Cat and stitchers. Good idea to use the photos. I got talked into doing "Stitch the Summer Olympics" so I dug out my old UFOs and figured out what do for each day's prompt. I've got little stuff that I've started alongside quilting - ornaments and such. And older bigger UFOs like Winter Queen...from 2002..... Yikes! I've done 2 rough FlossTube videos just so that everyone can see what I have already before I start talking about prompts and my viewers go "Wait, what?" Sorry your weekend away was soggy! I look forward to your next video.
Thank you 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed the photos! I have been trying to avoid the Summer Olympic stitching because I feel I have rather over-committed already 😂 It sounds like a lot of fun though so I hope you enjoy it😄
@@catkinandlillie I know that you are pretty busy Cat. I am happy to do the stitch the Olympics because our summer is pretty quiet. I am filming a bit ahead of time so that the videos get uploaded on the prompt date.
@@catkinandlillie thank you 😊 I love so many of your wips. I love how you are doing Dr Tim’s telescope 🔭 project. I would run into the same issue with the dark fabric (which I love).
Hi Kat I am new to your channel 😊 your projects are fabulous not sure I will meet this level of stitching there is allot of detail in larger pieces. How can we keep focused on the finish. thanks for sharing 😊
Hello and welcome! So fab to have you here and that you are enjoying my projects 😄 I do seem to have quite a few larger projects right now...some smaller ones might be a good plan as that's a great motivator for finishes! I am not bothered by longer running projects as long as I have some smaller ones for that finish feeling along the way! I also really love the process of stitching as my chill out and de-stress time so I don't have to be quite so fanatical about finishing.
Hi Cat, i want to ask what is your method to stitch full coverage? I want to start my first full coverage project, but i don't know with which method i should do this? Lovely greetings from Germany. Ute 😊
Hi Ute! I am not sure my full coverage stitching follows any one particular method but I can say that I don't grid my fabric, and I don't ever really park any threads. I pick a corner to start in (top left or bottom right for me) then work outwards from that corner, aiming to stitch fairly continuously so I pick whatever colour is next to the bit I've just stitched. I prefer not to leave gaps but that isn't really possible for full coverage. I don't do cross country so I never take my thread all that far from where the main body of my stitching is. I certainly don't do colour completion! I hope to make a stitch with me video some time so I can show all this properly!
I like the new approach of showing old and new progress
That's great to know, thank you 😄
Enjoyed your video, as always. Loving the new format. Some great progress
Happy stitching
Great, thank you 😄 I'm delighted to know you enjoyed the new format!

Personally I limit myself to one SAL with weekly releases or else I'd never keep up. 😂 I love seeing your fancy ladies! Happy stitching! ❤
If only I had your self control 😂 I'm coming to terms with my growing WIP list and SALs that I'm not keeping up with! Spoiler alert...I did finish the walrus though so I am actually up to date with that SAL - yay!!

Yay! Thanks so much and it's really helpful to know you enjoyed the new format and that it did achieve what I was hoping with being able to really see the details 😄
I’m starting Halloween SAL too!
Woohoo!! It's so fun and I'm loving it already 😄

Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed it the new format. I'll definitely see what I can do regarding more close up pictures 😄
😂yes a returning sub I wouldn’t miss it. Working on Magic Lamp while watching 😊
