You've made a fantastic start on this. I'm stitching "A Good Marriage" at the moment, I love Lizzie*Kate charts! Thay make a nice break from my HAED.

I've not seen that one before, it's lovely too. Have you a wip thread for it?

Yes, I'm about halfway through it now. Here is the WIP thread, it's on page 3.

Update picture, it seems like I'm flying through this. Seem to get loads done in just a couple of hours. Stitching over 2 is like 2nd nature now

Love this one - would like to have a go at this myself but not sure if I'm ready for linen just yet!

I was worried at first but after doing a practice row I haven't gone wrong.

This is beautiful and you are doing a great job on the linen. I have a few L*Ks waiting to be done. Maybe I will try one of the shorter ones on linen so if I hate it I won't have that much to do over on a piece of evenweave. Yours looks so lovely its tempting me to try.

I've done a project on linen and once you've done a row or two its lovely to work with. Some people don't like the bumpy bits that are characteristic of linen. When I bought it, the sales lady said, "just ignore the slubs and just keep on sewing." --or words to that affect. So I took her advice and found they were no problem!
Your work is looking great, Pinguxxx! You're doing a beautiful job.

You certainly are flying through this lovely one and I love the colours of your threads too. Great stitching and on linen too. Not tried that - yet.
