I stitched on my Feb Cottage off and on all day yesterday; I should finish it today, then I'm going to start my Feb Word Play. But I have noticed that I get a LOT of knots when I use CC, WDW & GAST threads? I thought maybe because I didn't separate them one at a time that was causing it; so I started pulling one at a time and still I fight with these darn knots...what am I doing wrong???
I thought of using the bees wax; but someone had said they heard the bees wax leaves a film on your thread and in time will show...I love these threads and don't plan on not using them; I guess I'll just have to fight my way thru. LOL
I'm off work today, I did the laundry yesterday, Kennys getting ready to leave for work soon, so my plans are to color my hair...:) and just stitch all day. Hope everyones able to stitch a little today...

I get lots of knots too... I always thought it was just the way my wrist turns while stitching. Hope the threads are better for you today :)
That happens from time to time. Love this house. I might have to do this one myself. Looks great.
February Cottage looks beautiful. I too seem to have the twisting, knotting problem with WDW threads. I just let it fall between stitches so it naturally unwinds.
What a pretty cottage!
I also seem to get knots now and again, seems to happen especially often when i pull the stitches through quickly. I guess I just get used to them!
YES!!!! I was just experiencing this today and wondering why Weeks always knots up. Frustrating.
yes!! it happens to me. I notice (I think)lol, that sometimes it certain color or the skein
Love the pink house
Lovely cottage you are building! I don't have too much of a problem. If I notice a thread twisting too much, I'll let my needle hang so the thread an unwind.
I seem to have that trouble a lot with GAST threads. It seems almost every other stitch is a knot. :(
Great progress on your February house.

I have the same problem with GAST, WDW and CC. It's so annoying. Even is I use shorter lengths I get the same thing.
Your cottage looks gorgeous :)
