Started this later than anticipated as I head a head cold which left me with watery eyes for a while but here is the new one I will do in rotation with Village Canal


Edited version as I have made photos larger






The threads are better on this kit, up to Dimensions usual standard. The Village Canal kit must have been a batch of rogue threads as I have not had one like that before from Dimensions

Good start on a lovely design! Hope the head feels clearer now

Thank you Mabel. I have just come on to try & get these pictures larger.

Yes thank you I am over my cold now.

Looks like you have made a great start on a lovely design!! Glad to hear you are feeling better.

You certainly had made a great start to a beautiful picture.

I've admired this design for a while now so I'm looking forward to seeing this one progress.
You've made a good start!

A good start to a very pretty design

Wow Lynette what a gorgeous design and beautifully stitched!

You’ve made a beautiful start on what is going to be a beautiful work of art.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I love the colour palette for this design, such varied hues. The person who designed this kit, Sung Kim, is the same person who did the Village Canal. He does beautiful works of art as well as designing kits.

Lovely start, Lynette! The colours are so beautiful and calming.

Didn't realise I'd done so much until I looked at previous photo yesterday. This is the best I can do although it looks like small white dots here & there where thread has not covered complete squares in the close up, mostly the darkest of the greens I noticed this when I was stitching although it cannot be seen when looking at it normally so should be Ok when it is completed No one will hold a magnifying glass up to look at it



A going to stop this for a while now & go back to my other one

Great progress! Love this one!
I wouldn't worry about white dots! This picture is meant to be viewed from it's place on the wall. If anyone takes a magnifying glass to it, apart from a judge at a show, then turn them away without a cuppa!

I agree!! Beautiful progress!

So pretty! And don't worry about white dots in photographs - the camera shows up all sorts of things that the naked eye will never notice. Useful if you're scrutinising your work for stray cat hairs though...

This is so pretty congratulations! I look forward to seeing more! xxx

WOW you have done quite a goodly sized bit of this gorgeous design. WELL DONE

This is a beautiful update. I can’t wait to see more.

Coming along very nicely!! Very pretty!!

Thank you everyone for kind comments.

Not done anything since I added update but now I have new glasses I should be OK to get on with village canal. Have bought a few tings though. One being I have caved in & bought a Bothy Threads kit - Bibunni To Do List. Waiting for it to come. Will put things bought on Acqusitions when that arrives. Seem to be drawn to cute bunnies at the moment. Have been looking at Mouseloft Stitchlets& been drawn to bunny ones too but so far not bought any. Probably will in a while. Well I should own up & say I know I will!!
