Great cards: excellent bright (!) therapy.

Re Kreinik: I know I've come to this late, but I wonder if one strand of very fine braid and 1 strand of blending filament together might give the exact coverage? A true fiddle, of course... :?

O.o one strand of #4 and one of BF? sounds complicated. I've found one strand of #4 works fine for coverage from 14 to 22 ct, and over two on 28/32.

The sparkle is the Kreinik thread, I am just using 1 strand by itself.

Oh, that is fabulous! Really, really good. I know what you mean about alot of confetti stitches, my dogs project seems full of it, but I really think it's worth it when you see the design coming to life.
