When I first joined this forum I was definately only up for one project at time, and tried hard to stick with it, but I've caved! I now enjoy doing small mini projects to run alongside my larger one. lol

I have seen this book in a couple different places and thought it had some nice patterns but don't know who I would make them for. You do such wonderful work. :applesauce:

I managed to get some more of this done this afternoon - bit more green on the dragons body, toes holding the ball and the Chinese symbol.

The scales aren't that bad (other than the fact that the chart is in colour blocks and really dark so the 3 shades of green used are hard to separate). The worst bit is the grey/blue border in the square shapes. I started that first and then it was horrible to do so I thought I would leave the rest of it till last!

Aww, this poor project was almost in danger of becoming a UFD! (Un-Finished Dragon) - @rotfl:

But as it was so sunny today and I had some proper daylight (this is a hard chart to read in artificial light) I decided to do some of this and then pick up my HAED tonight. I've actually only got two projects on the go now, with Predator and Dolphins finished. So here's a picture of the dragon - I worked on the left hand side border and the blue background bits in that area. I'll get this out every weekend now again for at least one of the days as there's really not a great deal of work on it to do.
