Working on WHG anyway

I looked around and found some of the DMC colors needed for Why Hoard Gold, as well as the yellow Marlitt used on the dragon's claws, so I'm going to go ahead and work on it this week. I can finish up the sweets and the chocolate puddle, and the lettering other than the word 'chocolate' which is stitched in another Marlitt (which at least doesn't have to match anything else).

Next time I know I'm going to NIAH or The Makings, I'll try to take the piece with me, and see if I can match up the Marlitts I still need. The other option would be to call or e-mail my old LNS and see if she might still have the same lots of colors from back when I bought them. She has a small shop, and I'm not sure how much turnover there is on the rayons.

I still hope that my little white bag of fibers for this project will somehow turn up, but I have pretty much run out of places to look.

Here's a 'before' shot, for the record...
