Last night I picked up Scott Lee, a counted needlepoint by the late Jean Hilton. I haven't worked on this since August of 2010! Not sure why I put it down never to be seen until now because I really enjoy counted needlepoint. I think it was of course because of all the "have to" needlepoint I was doing at the time. Then this just got pushed to the background. I also found the note attached to it saying "don't forget to pay Kelly for the chart"! Sorry for being such a schmuck Kelly. But I totally forgot. I'll made good asap. :-)
Anyway the photo is of the completed part three. Hopefully this week I'll start and complete part four. It's another round of smyrnas in a lighter color inside the round I just finished. Not my favorite stitch but they always like nice when completed. This needlepoint has to be done at home because it's huge! Way to large to tote onto the train.

I clicked thru to your old post... the colors are really pretty for this. I have some needlepoint stashed away too, too much to do and not enough time! Looking forward to seeing your progress.....happy stitching!
Glad to see this out and about again. I was talking to a blog friend yesterday about Scott. I have to get some other things off bars before I can start this monster. I forgot you owed me for the chart. Thanks for reminding me:)
I can't wait to see more of this piece. I bought the pattern and then completely forgot about it. I think that once I get a few things off my plate that I should pick up the threads for it. I'll look forward to your progress.
I never heard of this design so I looked it up. OMG. What a project! And now I know what all the Splendor and Flair was for (that I got rid of).
Looking forward to watching your progress on this. I really like counted needlepoint.
