A small start on my new project. Hopefully I will finish this soon as it contains no backstitching:

your crochet is lovely and the fruit design looks good enough to eat -- it looks very detailed, what is the stitch count?

Thanks for your encouraging comments
Mabel, the stitch count is 274 x 208 stitches. The fabric I used is 18-count, the finished size will be 15.22 inches x 11.55 inches.

Thank you for your comments and for dropping by on the blog.
Carole, I'm thinking of doing the bamboo dance or the sunset, but my hands are full right now, so I might just wait for that elusive "one day"...
