Great contrast between the dark thread and sparkly fabric, it's going to be gorgeous when it's finished. Keep up the good work.

It's Silkweaver's opalescent evenweave. Can't remember the colour without looking.
I bought it quite a while ago now.

Midge you're inspiring me to get back into doing mine!

Its one of my few UFOs, started last year but kinda fell to the wayside thanks to depression from my job. Really do want to finish it, as I had started it as a wedding gift for a friend. :oops:

Love your choice of fabric btw, so glistening!

This is where I stopped on mine.

It's been a while but this is a nice one to take on holiday as it only has one colour thread to worry about.
Not loads of progress but enough to justify an update.
