Sorry for waiting so long to post stuff. I've been really busy these past few weeks and havent had very much time to stitch. Oh well, heres my first update:
Its 2 over 1 full cross stitches in 25 ct lugana. I kind of regret using 2 strands because sometimes it just feels a little crowded, but I think it looks ok and I don't really want to start over.

Very pretty!!
But it may be worth starting over if you're not happy. Better now than later when you've stitched more.

I just wanted to add to this comment. I am restarting one of my projects, an HAED which I had been stitching for about a year and had completed nearly 7 pages on 25 ct , 2 over 1 full cross. Once I got past the black (nearly 6 pages) it became so hard to stitch that it wasn't fun. I'm not saying that will happen to you since there are a lot of stitchers who manage to do this, but mine was so bulky and difficult to get the needle through the fabric that I am restarting it. If you find that it is too bulky or difficut, Tiffany's suggestion makes sense. You've done a lot for a new start, but be sure that you will make it through to the end. Are you stitching it in DMC or the silk they recommend? It is such a beautiful chart.
