Big Cats SAL. Valb and ~threadbear~.

Post by ~threadbear~ »

So I recently swapped my pako organiser with Ally for a kit and here it is:

Image

It's all in chinese, so I can't tell you alot about it. :lol: But anyhow it's on black 14ct aida and I think it's all 2 strands. Well, that's what I'm assuming anyhow. :oops: (If anyone knows any different please tell me, but make it soon! :lol: ).

I decided I'm going to try having a few different projects on the go and do a bit of rotation on them. I'll post again when I've made a good start on this.
:D

I have that lovely chart and have got most of the threads to make a start on it. I have the instructions in English if you would like them. You are right it is using 2 strands. Good luck with it. I will be starting mine when i can take my wrist braces off ( probably on Tuesday when i have seen the Doctor)

I can't wait to start it

Thanks Kazzi. :)

Val, that would be great, thank you! :)
I hope you can start it soon. Maybe we could do a SAL together on it?
(Although I won't be very quick as I plan to rotate with dogs and a Haed design).
:dance: :wip:
Oh, and I hope all goes well for you at the Dr's. :)

Faith, if you want to get this kit as well and join our SAL you'd be more than welcome! :lol: :dance: :wip: :wip:

Val, I'll change the title now so that this thread is for both of us and we can just update on here as we go!
I'm really excited, I've never done a SAL like this before. It'll be such fun to 'share' the project with someone. :dance:

Oh, this is gorgeous, I'm going to love watching both of you stitch it. The big cats all look stunning on the black background.

Looking forward to seeing the stitching - I love the design (and most big cat designs) - but it just does not match our decor. So I will sit on the sidelines and cheer you guys on. (with chocolate of course) :choc:

I'm so glad you're getting on well with it Ally and finding it a help. :D

I love this project. :wub: It's going to be quite slow I would think, with two others on the go as well, but I couldn't wait to start it! :lol:

Thanks again Ally, I'm so glad we did our swap. :hug:
