I think the eyelots look fine. We are all so critical of ourselves I think. Some of the holes might not perfectly match others but when you are done I doubt anyone will notice unless you point it out. I love the look the variegated thread gives your piece. I did several stitches with variegated and think I would love to do this one again on the 28 count with all variegated. I just love the color you have chosen. Can't wait for your next update.

Wow!! Those eyelets look difficult but you managed to perfect it! I didnt know what a tree of stitches was before. Looks amazing, especially with your choice of colours.

Your eyelets are fine! Including the ones you did with double thread! You can only tell in the close-up, and it will be framed on a wall where no-one will be any the wiser, yes? I'm loving your tree!

Hehe come join us- you'll love it!
Tree of Stitches may well disappear from the yahoo group at the end of October (depending on what Abi decides to do) - so if you want to join better do it now.....!

Ooh - what a super idea and great progress - well done!

I've done 2 more sections- the cushion stitch and the jerusalem but today I am going to work on my I Love picture- I am being very strict with myself- no tree today!
I've added this close-up because I think I made a boo boo with the jerusalems- I used 2 threads on 28 count and the ones where you stitch two together I am not too sure about; should I have only used 1 thread?
Thanks for reading; happy stitching and hope you're having a fun weekend!

Looking very nice and I think you did okay with the jerusalem stitch--that's what makes this project so nice, you can make small adjustments to it so that it is what you like!!

I don't think you can really "go wrong" with TOS - unless you do a completely different stitch altogether of course! I used 2 threads for my Jerusalems on 28ct - your tree is looking great don't worry!
