Re: My first big project
I'm just starting to follow this thread. I am anxious to see your "mystery" piece appear. I look forward to many more updates.

Re: My first big project
Thank you, it's nice that you think it looks good already!
I'm still stitching away my black floss and when I think I'm done with black I inspect my charts and I discover more black stitches to do

Re: My first big project
Remember there are no rules.
You can stop the black when you're bored with it, and can finish it off whenever you please.
Regards,
Richard

The thing is, I want to see the "skeleton" of the whole picture before I add all the colours, and also I'm curious to see the back of my project all done in black because I like the effect the black and white has together

Re: My first big project
The 3rd skein of black is done!
Sorry the picture is not great quality but I will try to take a better one next time when hopefully I post the final black stitches update!

Until now I was thinking of an eagle or mountains.

That is really going to be something when you finish it, though.

Re: My first big project
We should put a Spoiler Alert in the title! But it is a lovely picture, and we will still enjoy seeing it grow

I will post a picture of the back when I'm done with it
(Warning: it's not perfect, there are knots and I don't follow the rules..)
Rule? We don't need no stinkin' rules!
I could never stitch this way. I get bored when I have to much of one colour to do.
Your work looks beautiful.

Re: My first big project
Yes of course you are allowed,
In fact Steve had already guessed it right and posted the picture of it, but I see he has removed it now, out of kindness when he read I was sad it got discovered so soon I guess
It is bound to become more and more obvious anyway.
I am the opposite, I can't leave one job unfinished, I wouldn't enjoy it anymore if I started another colour knowing I still haven't finished the previous one!

Re: My first big project
I can't believe I've never thought of gridding out the project before... I feel like hours of frustration could've been avoided. I'm adopting your very smart start right away...
