I'm doing WIPGO again this year because it's fun to have the element of surprise in your planned stitching.
I started The Year in the Woods series from Cottage Garden Samplings in December 2023 and finished The Fox in January 2024. I straight away moved on to The Swans on the same piece of fabric.
Here's where I left off stitching them:
That was my start point for 2025 and I stitched on them every day this February except for the 13th. Here are my finished photos:
stitched over 1 on 25 count Cirrus evenweave from Chromatic Alchemy
I substituted B5200 for the white snowflakes and added a strand of blending filament for extra sparkle as I did for The Fox.
I also changed the water to DMC 927 and the gold wings to DMC 832.
I again used 522 for the trees so they show up better.
Other than that I stuck to the charted DMC conversion.
Finally, here are the pair together:

The swans look beautiful, so does the fox. Extra sparkle is always nice!
Oh, well done! I do love these designs. Will you be starting the next one in the series anytime soon?
That looks brilliant!!! The colours in the fox and the wing of the swans are incredible. Beautiful stitching, Jo! x
