Stitcher Blogging Questions

Catching up on some SBQ's...

5/10/06: When you stitch from a kit and use the supplied floss do you have leftovers? If so, how much and what do you do with them? If not, do you usually have just enough or do you have to dig into your stash to finish?

I normally do have leftovers-- quite a bit for some colors. It depends on the individual kit, though. If there is a good amount left and it's labeled as DMC colors, I'll add it back to my general stash. Otherwise, I usually just toss them.

5/17/06: Lately, it seems that many stitching bloggers have experienced a loss of their stitching mojo. Have you ever lost your stitching mojo? If so, how did you get it back and how long did it take?

Mine is always running hot and cold. I basically just roll with it- if I'm in a stitching binge, I jump right in. If I'm not, then I do other things. I find that the nicer the weather is, the less I generally stitch. The longest loss of mojo was about four years in my mid-20s.

5/24/06: What is your favorite specialty stitch? Which one is your least favorite? Why?

For some odd reason, I always liked chicken-stratch stitches. I haven't done them in a while, but I really like how fast patterns develop from them. I hate french knots. They never look good when I do them. :(
