my kingfisher has some three-quarter stitches (so two small symbols in one square) where one is a black square and the other a black circle :shock:
Ooh tricky! Do you use a magnifying glass for those? I don't see why they have to use such similar symbols... seems they could figure a way to make each one more distinguishable. But having never attempted to design anything of my own I best keep my opinions to myself. :oops:

This is an amazing amount of work. I looked at it for a long time and I can't find the face yet :doh: but I am never good at those puzzels were you have to find the hidden pictures in the bigger picture. I could never Find Waldo. :cry:

thanks everyone.
Been trying to do a little everyday.

When I get the missing colours I'll "colour" in the missing parts but as for now I'll be carrying on with the colours I have.

I buy colours as I can afford them.
This budget of mine doesn't really allow for hobbies but I squeeze it out every now and again. And next month is my birthday so hoping to get some spending money or vouchers for pressies from inlaws/outlaws/hubby. :wink:
