Work in Progress Wednesday
Rapunzel blackwork - this is an old Marion Scoular design that has been packed away for a very long time. I pulled it out to check the thread and decided to work on it a bit.
Kogin Four Seasons progress - I worked more on the summer section.
Toki, who blogs at 私がめがねをかけるとき, and I are both stitching this kogin piece. (She blogs in Japanese, but there is a translation button on the top left under the title, if you don’t read Japanese.) Check out her progress!
Last week, Lyn commented that she thought the 1 chi thread might be like floche. I don't stitch with floche often enough to know, but I did have a project using floche, so I pulled it out to compare. The floche is a thinner smoother thread. The 1 chi is thicker and rather rough.
Summertime Mt. Fuji progress
This project is very fun for me. Mt. Fuji's 25 connected/related sites were recognized in 2013 by UNESCO as a cultural World Heritage site. I am depicting the mountain and a few of the other sites in this piece.
Sengen Taisha Shrine, Fujinomia
Miho no Matsubara
Shiraito Falls
And of course the summertime mountain, without snow, just clouds. (View from my apartment yesterday.)

It's interesting hear about the difference in texture between the 1 chi thread and floche, thank you. I've used floche size 16 for whitework though it does come in other sizes. It is a lovely smooth thread.
Hello Pamela: Oh my the Kogin is beautiful, love the fabric and color threads. I am looking forward to seeing the Rapunzel fully finished, looks very interesting, I want to especially see the hair done.
Mt> Fuji is looking wonderful, I am curious what you used for the clouds, love the tree and the way it is growing.

Oh, I don't think we've seen the rapunzel one before! I also haven't used floche before, will have to look that up. It just looks like DMC in the picture.
