Day 32, and line 200, finally. Bottom left stitches are a group of omicrons on lines 200-203.

I’m currently having an issue with this blog where I don’t get any notifications (of reblogs, likes, replies, asks, etc.) I’ve contacted Tumblr but they don’t know what the issue is yet. So apologies if I miss replies or asks - I’m not deliberately ignoring you, I promise.

— Hi! Thanks for your interest, and support. The explanation for the piece can be found here. There’s a link to in the the left-hand sidebar, it’s the page called “The Apology”. I hope that page explains everything clearly, but if you still have questions please feel free to ask.

Day 26 (book 2)

Today I finally got more lambda thread, so tomorrow all those lambdas will be gone.

Yesterday I spent some time adding tags to old posts, so now you can search for all pictures from, say, day 7, or day 24. Just search for the number (the actual Arabic numeral, not the written out word) and you can compare posts (hint: so far, I’m working slower on book 2).
