This is my next project once I've finished my 'Ballerina Beauty' (if I can be patient that is)



Its not something I would usually go for, but there is something about it that I'm drawn to!

Going to do it on 22ct hardanger using a tent stitch, 2 over 1. I've never used tent stitch before so whether I stick with it I don't know. This project is really quite big so figured it may be alot quicker.

Started sorting threads already - it has about 95 colours and is 250 x322 stitches big.

So here goes..... wish me luck!

Wow this is great!!!!!! I love the colors and you are right I am drawn to the whole image.

Wow! It's BEAUTIFUL! Looking forward to seeing you start on this!

Good luck! It's a very unusual pattern!

WOW its fabulous and I it. Will look forward to your progress.

I've never seen this one before Nic, it looks quite a challenge!
Look forward to seeing you start it.

This is gorgeous, I'll look forward to seeing your progress!
Will also be interested to hear what you think of the coverage for tent stitch on 22ct

Oh wow

wow thats so pretty

Wow! That's a beautiful pattern. It will be neat to watch.

Wow thats a great pattern I look forward to seeing it once the Ballerina has been finished!!

What a lovely pattern, not seen this one before.

Nic I have this chart and I am fighting to not go and look it out, thanks for reminding me I had it! I looked in your gallery and found so many that I have and love, we must have very similar tastes? I adore wolves and HAED both of which I am doing just now and have always wanted to get Row of Love, I can see it happening! You get started and I blame you if I just have to start another one!
Happy Stitching

so pretty! i can see why you are drawn to it. my dad loves wolves and indian designs..but i don't think i could tackle this..looking foward to seeing you though! lol

Really interesting pattern. It will be fun to watch it develop.

This is a stunning design, can't wait to watch it's progress.

Wow, this is beautiful, can't wait to see you start stitching it!

pretty

im doing my haed on 22ct 2 over 1 using tent stitch and im find the coverage to be just right

As predicted, I couldn't leave this one alone! The aida looked all lonely and unloved, so thought it only right that I get stitching and leave my Ballerina XS to one side for a while!

I decided to do this using 3 stands as the coverage was a little better and can't believe how much I love TENT STITCH! It's coming on SOOOOO quickly compared to my HAED!

I have to admit that the full XS definitely looks better close up and i'm glad I did my HAED in full stitches but the tent stitch is definitely appealing and will be using it again! My stash doesn't look so daunting anymore!!

Anyway, here is an update. I'm 3 pages in already and bout to start my 4th page (16 in total). Hope you likey?



Really like this one, but my other half isn't keen, says the colours are too bright! What does everyone think - honest answers please!!

WOW! your needles are really burning it up, amazing progress, and it looks amazing!
