It takes a little bit to get your eye in but then it's not too hard - well if you choose something with a coarser weave than this linen anyways! It was a bit tough on my old eyes at times. I did quite a lot of unpicking on this one, I didn't seem to be paying quite enough attention to how many spaces between leaves when starting a new one etc. so things wouldn't line up and then I'd be pulling out an hour's work - sigh. But all worth it in the end!Hazelnutshttp://www.hazelnutgirl.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7750720746807403757.post-4025825455080933232012-07-23T18:06:36.695+12:002012-07-23T18:06:36.695+12:00A perfect pair, and they look fab arranged on the ...A perfect pair, and they look fab arranged on the wall amongst your other framed pieces.Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7750720746807403757.post-64294356948674236262012-07-23T17:32:40.231+12:002012-07-23T17:32:40.231+12:00I like your dandelions.

When using linen for cross stich do you just use your eye to judge the size of the crosses?Karyn Whitenoreply@blogger.com
