Oh I'm glad I caught up with this. I'm keen to hear how you find the gridding with fishing line works out.
You've made a great start already. :applesauce: :applesauce:

Haven't done a lot on this, as I was finding it very difficult to see the different shades while stitching at night. OH kindly just arranged a magnifier lamp for my table, so hopefully things will go more quickly. Could it be that, since he chose this design, he has an ulterior motive? :thinks: Nah . . .

Here's the latest progress. Coverage in the dark area is not great, but it's supposed to be a starry night, so maybe that will look OK. Also have to add some beads (stars) later . . .

Great progress. I'm sure the coverage will get better as you go along and will be even better when you come to add the beads :applesauce:

Well, the magnifier lamp is now installed - takes some getting used to. Tricky to get the right angle so it magnifies correctly, without being too close to the fabric, as I need to leave room for my stitching hand!

I'm sure it will just take time to sort out. It does make things easier to see - including mistakes! :shock:

A little more done, so it's looking more symmetrical . . .

The magnifier light helps somewhat, but I'm finding it awkward to use -- hard to get the focus right, then I keep hitting it as I stitch. Trial and error, I guess. :thinks:

I've also tried using the stand I've had for years but never used. Still can't get into that either. I find it a pain to turn the frame over to start a new thread. I did switch to a smaller set of Q-Snaps, as the larger one was too hard to hold onto. Moan, groan . . . !!
