It IS gorgeous! I have to say I couldn't stitch 32 count without a magnifier.

I notice you haven't gridded your fabric either. That's where you mark out ten stitch squares on the thread before you start so you have some idea where you need to be. Its not essential for a small piece like this, but always do it anyway.

Great progress!! :applesauce: :applesauce:
magnifier are great help! I can menage to stitch 1 over 1 on 25ct without but why straining my eyes? I work in front of a computer all day and I can use the extra help right?
I recently replaced mine with a new one with led lights and it did wonders!!
