Oh and which pen did you use for the gridding? Only I'm still looking for one to use for my Haed and you seem really pleased with your one.
Thanks

It's fabulous! Well done, it just matches your own lovely kittys perfectly.

Thanks TB
The pen is a turquoise colour Aqua-Trickmarker by Prym.
Yes I was very worried about wether it would come out as the colour was very strong and it was on the showing surrounding fabric and it also showed through the pale coloured thread.
However I lowered the fabric into a dish of cold water and was amazed as the pen disapeared with no rubbing or anything !
I was really pleased and would have no worries in future
For my Iris (my first) Haed I choise 18 count Magic aida (pre Marked) I am about a third of the way through so will be interested to see how well the red lines on this wash out !

Thanks for the info Kerry. 
That's a few of you now who use these prym pens and seem pleased with them. I just want to get the right thing and be sure it's going to work well.
I'll have myself a good look on ebay or sewandso and see if I can find any.

So perfect! I think it should go right above the cat stand, where the little helpers sit!

Oh dear! What is cuter, the framed cross-stitch or the kitties giving each other some celebratory kisses for their hard work?
