I am so relieved, my charts finally turned up.....hallelujah!!!!

So worried they wouldn't arrive before I left.

So for anyone looking at purchasing similar patterns.......

'The Courage inside us is the Strength within us' AKA Gryphon.

there is 115 thread colours.
and the chart is 12 A4 pages long (colour chart with symbols)


'Celebrate Lifes Many Colours' AKA the Parrots

there is 142 thread colours
and the chart is 12 A4 pages long (colour chart with symbols)


'Crystal of Enchantment' AKA my HAED order 1

there is 90 thread colours
and the chart is 42 A4 pages long (black and white symboled chart)

'Star Weaver' AKA HAED order 2

there is 90 thread colours (one of these colours I need to purchase 40 skeins of it :shock: :shock: )
and the chart is 36 A4 pages long (black and white symbolled chart)

Just wanted to say

I AM SO EXCITED!!

mmmmmm ...... now to decide which one to start first.


(my order from the UK for my HAED took 9 weeks!! ........)

Rose, actually my second choice was the red and light blue with the green instead of the navy :-) -- it's lovely, isn't it?

They are lovely and give such a nice 3D feel to the stitching -- and good value too, as silks go, they're £1.99 for a 50m skein; not many colours though.

2 pieces of fabric from Happy Hobbits! deep blue & wedgewood blue evenweave. Just stash really!

What I did want from them was a book, but they took my order and money then3 weeks later said the book was unobtainable!!
I've asked them before if they could let people know if things are in stock or if there will be a delay. Obviously it didn't work...AGAIN!!
I've had it with them now! :roll:
