Crazy January start #23

Day #23 of the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge is Boo-gie Fever by Sue Hillis Designs.  I finished one skeleton.  I'm using glow-in-the-dark floss by DMC, which is so much nicer and softer and easier to stitch with than the glow-in-the-dark from Kreinik.  I highly recommend it!  I'm stitching on black 14 ct Aida and it will be about 7" x 9".

Since I'm stitching skeletons, I pulled out another skeleton from my WIPocalypse list, Skel on Bike. I bought this chart from Witch Stitch 'n' Bits but the designer has retired and the website is closed now.  I started this in 2012 and never touched it again after the first day.  Today I stitched more of the bike frame.  This will be 12.25" x 13" on 22 ct evenweave that I dyed black (but not very dark).

    That skeleton looks so funny. It's certainly a fun stitch.

    Love it. I have tried stitching on dark colors but I fid it very difficult to see.

    The skeleton looks great! I've never used the glow in the dark threads, but they are perfect for this design.

    I haven't tried the glow in the dark thread from DMC but I found the glittery thread stiff and plastic feeling.

    Spooky set indeed. Love them though. I've never tried the DMC glow ones. I'll have to remember that.

    I am in awe that you are stitching the Skel on Bike on 22ct over 1. Another great pair. Boo-gie Fever is great.

    Boogie Skeleton looks great and so doer Skel on a Bike. I do not like working with DMX Light Effects. They always shred on me.

    Love both of them, definitely make a great pair. I'm a fan of all the spooky and Halloweeny stuff :)

    Gorgeous designs. The only thing that puts me off stitching skeletons is that stitching white is my least favourite colour!
