Tomorrow is another Erica Michaels piece but not a tiny one this time. I'm actually not using DMC so that will be a fun change.

DUCJC Day 24
Today is a pick I was really looking forward to. I not only love the pattern but I love the fabric. Enough teasing about it...let's see what it is...
This is Elegant Squid from Ink Circles. She was setup at PALs 2014 and for some reason this pattern just screamed Buy me. Then I found this fabric and I just had to stitch it on. So here is my progress...
The fabric is a Hand Dyed by Stephanie. It's a 28ct Jobelan evenweave. The color is called Glastonbury Tor. It's a bit darker than the photo. You know how photos never do our stitching justice. I'm using DMC 501 and 504. I really enjoyed working on this one and look forward to getting back to it.

Nice start! I bet you had to have it since it's still ocean/sea related. :)
I love it too! What a fun squiggly design!
Nice start and a nice design !!
This is so different to anything I've seen you stitch up to now. You've made a good start and I shall enjoy watching this one grow. :)
Great design Katie.

Cool design I don't know if I would've noticed the squid if I hadn't heard it in the title. I love the choice of colors too!
That's really different! I like your colour choices. I sense a sea theme going on!
Ooh lovely, great start on such lovely fabric
Love your colour choices,what a pretty design.
You made a great start on this!
What beautiful fabric and thread choices....they're perfect for that design!
Ooooh this is interesting! Very different from your usual but I love it. Didn't even realise the design was about squids, d'oh!! It looks really good on the fabric.
That's something unique, didn't realize the squid at first glance. Great fabric choice:)
"What pretty squid" are words I never thought to type!
But I do love Ink Circles designs and this is no exception. Love the colours on the fabric too.
Gorgeous fabric, looking great!
Stunning fabric. I have actually climbed Glastonbury Tor, magical place!
You are so right about the fabric - it's perfect for the design. And for the two colors you stitch it with. I love the 500 greens. Whenever I see such gorgeous fabric I feel the urge to buy a couple of pieces of these hand-dyed beauties. And I think soon I will :)
Tracy's designs are always awesome... yours is gonna be fun to follow! Hugs!
Love your fabric and floss choices.
