HAED~SHH Now~ update 22/7 in 1st post

[esiotrot]

Hey folks ~
thank you so much for the advice ~ your time is appreciated.
I have decided to go ahead and lower the eye one row - there are several rows of shading under the eye so I am able to reposition without affecting anything else. The rows are so tiny I really dont think that one row will make a difference - fingers crossed I am not proved wrong.
I should be able to post a picture of the finished page tomorrow - if I get to do a bit more stitching today.

Good luck with it, you're quite brave to try such a thing!

[Nina]

Just wondering, how are you doing...?

[esiotrot]

Hey Nina -
Hope you are well, how is your lovely lady getting on?

I am getting on fine - had to unpick a bit as I was working in pages and became aware you could see the definition lines between the pages - does anyone else have this problem?

I unpicked and re did the sections and and now using more of a cross country approach across a few pages at a time letting the colours guide me which is giving a much nicer finish and no obvious lines. I worked out last night I am approx 18% through the 115200 stitches so still a fair way to go. Have nearly finished her face and fingers but am still plowing throught the 35+ wide section of white which runs down the 288 entire length and the white of her hand. So much white!!!!
I am charging my camera and will take a picture later today to show how far along I am.

Wow, you're so fast! You've done more than I have, and I started mine earlier Can't wait to see your pictures

[esiotrot]

Well here she is ~

You cant see all my white very well but I promise its there.
As I said before I had a small accident involving the Magic aida hence the bleeding lines but they will all disappear when I wash her at the end, she is a bit crumpled at the left hand side from sewing in hand.

This is my first cross stitch in years and my first HAED so would really value any opinions
