Thanks everyone!.

Well here's the progress so far

Image

Right after I took this I noticed how wonky it looks and Mr Froggie came to visit. Strangely the bits that look wonky are straight and the bits that look straight are wonky. Anyways that top right corner, I've had to frog completely. I was one row out along each side. I could have just added an extra row but then I would have known it wasn't right and it would have bugged me. Its only 1500 stitches or so and if I stitch as fast as I did yesterday I can probably get 600 done today and then it should be back at this point by next weekend.

As you can see though she's nearly finished now and once the corner is redone its all 2 over 2 (yay!). I'm looking forward to getting back to that and doing her feet and legs. There's only a very small amount of backstitch too, on her arms and on the flowers, which I cant do just yet.

I really want to get this finished by Easter, which is another 4 weeks

Well I didn't get anything done today but never mind. Yeah I didn't notice Mr Frog til I counted and matched everything up so it wasn't obvious but it was one of those niggles that I knew would bug me for ever.

Thanks for the kind words everyone

Sorry you had to frog, but I agree you would've been annoyed by it forever if you hadn't.

This is a lovely design, beautifully stitched. :applesauce: :applesauce:

Well after a crazy couple of weeks where I had a lot to unpick then didn't pick it up for 10days, I finally fixed Mr Froggie.

Now I can carry on and complete the final page or so. Hopefully I'll still be able to get this finished by the end of the Easter holidays
