I just read over all your wonderful progress posts. I really enjoying seeing everything you are working on. Finishes and new starts and bits here and bits there. It's such fun to see all your work. I really wish I could comment on each post but I've been at the computer for only 20 minutes and my eyes are burning, itching and tearing so bad I have to stop whether I want to or not. Thank you for posting, every time I read about your ups and downs I learn something, or find something new and interesting. Keep up the wonderful work and I'll keep reading about it.

the gridding so I figured I better put in a few stitches also. I think since the last photo I finihed off the bottom of page 1 and started another page. But there is a waaaaaayyyyyy long way to go yet. This is the first piece that I did gridding on that I only did part of the grid before beginning the stitching --- never again. Either do it all or don't do it at all. It's a real pain to have to stop to put in more grid and trying to put in a grid line over existing stitches sucks! I hope you might learn something from my mistake there, I know I did. I know it doesn't look like a whole page, but I did get the large print chart so the pages are much smaller -- but there are way more of them too, I think there are something like 40 more pages to come (LOL).

Your progress is wonderful, and it's coming to life !! I'm using the Large Format too, it's better for my eyes...

Large print for me too! The Astronomer is 56 pages.

I tried gridding and parking threads for a while, but never again. Just doesn't work for me.

Your progress is wonderful!

Oh, it's lovely! I have just started this piece and I can relate to it's size. It's HUGE! But it's so pretty and worth it!

I grid the outline of the pages when I don't wish to start in the top left corner -- and then only to get to the spot where I wish to start. I do tend to park though to make sure I don't miss any stitches. I find having to hunt and peck for the missed ones very tedious!

I love the dolphin tails! *coos*
