So I wanted to show off my newest WIP, since I needed a break from Tinkerbell because of an extra row magically showing up out of no where. I started Starlet Monday afternoon.

good start. It can be very important to be able to switch to a different project when one becomes frustrating. Do you have a photo of what this will look like when its done?

Thank you. And here is what it is suppose to look like when I am finished. I started in the upper left corner

thank you. that is going to be lovely.

That's a cool project.

very nice project and a great start on it!!!

I use a water soluble blue pen which is made for fabrics for gridding. I tested it to make sure the lines would wash away. If you aren't sure about yours you could test it before you go any further on your stitching and then re grid it. or just try a small corner to see if the lines wash away. they should.

Another really cool picture to watch grow!!!!!! Great start!!!!

That is going to be really fabulous when it is finished and you have made a gresat start on it.

I have the opposite problem with the soluble pens for gridding - it tends to vanish in the humidity. Gggrrrrrrrrr Mind you Country Companions one has been around all year.

Very cool picture. If the pencil is already fading you shouldn't have any issues with marks leftover. But like you said, can always stitch over it if needed.

What a lovely design!
