There are about 45 colors, and 4-5 symbols for blended colors. Manageable so far, as I've started with some larger blocks of color. And they were very easy to sort, which was great.

Great progress on this how are you finding the c :wub: hart I have some dimensions and I'm a bit frightened of the chart not the actual stitching just the chart!

Yay Barb! :applesauce: What a great way to start the weekend! Can't wait to see your start.

As for the chart, I'm not finding it hard to follow at all, with the caveat that I do prefer charts that use multiple colors like Dimensions. It's all one page, so my plan is to copy it, dividing it into four pages or so to make it easier to manage, and then I highlight as I go.

What frightens me most about the chart is all the backstitching :shock: ! that could be a disaster, but I'm ignoring it for now.

Great start too!

I haven't started yet. I was almost about to but then I decided I am going to finish my current two WIP ( pelicans and seashells) and I also have a fw mini projects I want to finsh as well as I have too many things on the go now.

I should be able to make good progress this week as I am off work until Friday and plan to finish the seashells..it's just backstitching now and the current small project I am doing, should finish it by tomorrow and the backstitching on seashells by Thursday.

Then, I will start Bistro along with Pegasus...which I am making for a friend...with a few minins when I need a break.

I have a mini I can do when I am in hospital next week, so I am saving that..those places get oh so boring. I'm not sick, it;'s just routine stuff.

Only a bit of an update on the bistro, it's been a busy week!

I've been also trying to finish another project, oriental orchids. I mainly need to finish a lot of gold detailing (which isn't showing up so well in the pics), some of the stems, and then all the stupid backstitch. I got a fair bit of the gold accents done this past weekend.
