Having been lucky enough to win the
Design Works'' Bunnies Pull Together kit on EBAY, i knew i had to start stitching it right away. As both me and the wife think its so cute.
Here is a picture which i managed to find of the finished kit, my apoligies for the poor quality.
And here is a picture of how far ive got so far.

Nice start! The lettering looks like raised ink, how did you do that? Is it a special thread?

The lettering is stitch in 2 strands of navy blue thread. The original picture i posted is just of poor quality, as i used my phone. Below is a updated picture. The only problem im having with this, is ther isnt any grid on the chart. So there is a lot of counting to be done.

That's odd that there isn't a grid on the chart

I love the lettering you have so far. It's going to be sweet.
No grid? That sounds really tedious. You're doing great, though!

Great start, I love bunnies
Could you draw out the grid onto the chart yourself? Might make counting easier

I had to draw in the gridding on my Fljotsdale Dragon chart; well worth the effort! Helps a huge amount with counting.
You're doing great!

(And don't worry about the eye, I can't do french knots either. How about a bead?
