You are really doing this up fast. Lots of progress and so much going on in this. What fun to watch this grow.

You've done LOTS! Great progress!

This looks like a really fun project - lots going on and nice colours. You're making great progress too - looking forward to the next update!

*insert lots of naughty swear word*

I have added an extra row, and now have to frog a 13 x 12 block of x's

stoopid

no need to sit there all smug with yourself, you silly frog

Ah noway... I'll go hunt off Mr Frog for you. Your really doing great with this Lisa I love the colours!

That is it where is my needle . Mr better run he is a bad boy.

That's looking nice so far!!

You have made a lot of progress and it looks great!!

Raven

So sorry about that naughty frog!

Oh Lisa what a bore! Hope he'll stay away from now on *pokes frog with especially sharp needle*

Bad Leave poor Lisa ALONE!

have unpicked, and re-stitched, although a lil bit does look messy. it's not bothering me too much atm. but I want to pick the entire bottom bit, only to find out I've run out threads, so I cant finish it. So the plan is to carry on and complete the ship, and if I have enough threads left over then I will unpick and re-stitch to tidy it up. But I dont think it will be too noticeable. But we will see when it's finished.

Mr Frog is certainly getting about these days isn't he!!???? Naughty naughty froggy

As for this pattern - rather you than me!!! Looks REALLY tricky!!!! Can't wait to see this one progress, its fab!!!

1st page finished



am doing the backstitch. I looked at the chart and though "meh there not that much backstitch, I don't know what they are all going on about!" How wrong was I?

I have decided to do the page directly above it to get rid of all the boring white of sail done!

Your flying with this!! How many pages is there altogether? Are you finding the backstitch hard? It looks great!!

theres 9 pages of chart and then 9page of the chart again but with added backstitch. I'm not finding difficult, but I hurt my wrist the other day cleaning around 30 skewers inn one go (one skewer has 2 prong thingys and holds 3 chickens) and now my wrist hurts so I'm finding it more painful

Sorry to hear about your wrist! I seem to do something to mine every couple of months--usually kids pulling on it too much. The pirate ship is looking great!

im gonna buy a support for it, it hurts more when i'm carrying the kids and at 2 & 1 yr old i still have to carry them. and when im stitching. can't wear it at work as i do lots of washing up

Lisa -- this looks really good. Too bad about all the backstitching. I am so not a fan of backstitching. You are making good progress though!
