I don't know if I'm going to work on something different for UFO week or not (I've got plenty of project to choose from for that) because I've had a hard time seeing the holes on this project (25 ct). It took 4 or 5 days before I didn't have to use the magnifier and squinting to see the holes and I'm afraid if I go back to any larger sizes that I'd have the same problem again when I got back to this project. I'm close to finishing the page anyway so I might just stick with it for a while longer. I really do have some UFO projects I need to finish so maybe my UFO will be a little later than everyone's elses.

Besides trying to see the holes the only other issue I have sometimes is reminding myself to "go the long way around" while I'm tent stitching. It's the first time I've tent stitched and I'm very happy with the coverage (also glad it's not on white fabric) and I love how fast it seems to get done. I might have to use tent stitches more often.

I understand not wanting to switch! You get so used to a certain system that it's awful to have to retrain yourself just for one week.

Page 1 done (although it doesn't really look like it because some of the stitches are the same color as the material). I'm a little undecided about the tent stitches for things on the diagonal. Hopefull it will look better with more done.

Well done on finishing Page 1

I love tent stitches, I'm reluctant to go back to doing full crosses now, although I think 25ct is the biggest you could use 2 strands on. It's looking great!
