:shock: Wow you are zooming through this! This is fast on it's own but I know that these charts are kinda difficult to read because of the upper and lower case letters they use as symbols and the fact that they don't even number the rows or anything so that makes me even more in awe of you! Great job! :applesauce: :applesauce:

I thought that I would struggle with the letters as symbols thing as well - but because I've mirrored the pattern the letters look more like symbols than letters most of the time, however this causes its own problems 'p' becomes 'q' and vice versa! (luckily they are two very different colours!)

Hopefully I'll have the first two pages done tonight (only 450 stitches to go...)

I'm really annoyed though - I had to leave the space between the brown and gold because although my lists say I have the missing colour, last night when I went to use it I couldn't find it anywhere in my stash!

I think I must have typed in the wrong number when I did my list, as I looked through my 2 DMC folders, my WIP folder and the bag of extra skeins that I have (all the places I have my thread) and it wasn't in any of them, so I bought it last night.

Unfortunately I didn't get the first two pages finished as I had hoped last night - I stitched enough stitches its just that some of them were on the next two pages! I'm now at 5250 stitches with is 35% (over a third done already! :shock: ) and hope to get quite a bit more done before I fly on Wednesday.

Absolutely amazing! It looks 3-dimensional. And the colours are so vibrant I want to stroke them :)
