Sorry about the picture, don't know why it is sideways, but that sums things up on how things are going. Most people worry about finishing a HAED -- Heck, I haven't been able to start mine, but the third time proved to be a charm; I had all my colors, and my fabric, but had to wait one month to get my chart. Then I found out that I absolutely hate 22 count hardanger, so found some 25 count fabric, cut it and started to stitch; I just can't get the knack of one over one, and I was frogging 3 stitches for every 1 stitch I did -- I know that doesn't seem possible, but I am sure that is what happened. So I ordered new 28 count fabric in a size to stitch 2 over 2; the fabric arrived Friday evening, and I started stitching yesterday. I laugh at the post about getting tired of purple -- know the feeling as mine is all black (except for 11 stitches) so far. It is certainly a larger size that I wanted but since it is (only?) 300 x 223, it is not unmanageable.

Great start Edie! I love this chart, it is going to look so lovely when it is completed.
ReplyDeleteAww, sorry you had so much trouble getting started. Here's hoping that the rest of your work on this chart is trouble-free :) You've gotten a lot done in the short time you've been working and it's looking great!
ReplyDeleteoff you go now:-) seems you had all the problems before starting, so everything will run smoothly now!
ReplyDeleteI say it is a fabulous start! They say that any project that has many problems in the planning, has few in the execution. I hope this is true in your case. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteThe snow leopard is going to be lovely. Cannot wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteGreat start and it's going to turn out beautiful! At least you were able to finally get the fabric you wanted and started it. I think getting everything I needed and getting started was the hardest part. lol Looking forward to more updates!
