Beautiful!!

How are you finding the pattern? - with my Mystic Stitch I found it quite hard to look through all the letters & numbers, compared to symbols like with HAEDs....

Yes the pattern is a bit complicated with all the different numbers and letters for the colour changes. I have never done a HAED to know if they are easier to follow. I will be asking santa for some for xmas though

HAEDs use symbols rather than letters - so a black circle, black square, cross, arrow etc. Plus they often use smaller, lighter symbols for lighter colours and dark solid symbols for dark colours.... I definitely prefer their symbols to Mystic Stitch letters!

Thanks for all your encouragement. I have nearly finished page 2. Will have another photo soon. I will be glad when all the flowers in her hair are complete as there are so many colour changes. It really slows you down. I guess the HAED must be like that?

Thats such a wonderful design and a great start!
Yes HAED´s are like that, it slows you down, but it looks so lovely in the end, it´s really worth it!
