With the big project finished, I embarked on something smaller a month ago…but I put it on hold. Now I’m at it again.

The grid is one square off on one column so the whole thing is off. Any better ways to make an accurate grid? I know pre-gridded is a thing but I have a couple of meters of that plain 14ct fabric that I want to use up.

How has your week been, did you work on anything exciting?

    Looking great! So close to being able to show off the whole thing all together 😀

    What’s been difficult about the lettering? Is it just the counting and potential for mistakes there, or something else?

      It’s the spacing (which I already messed up a little, but it still looks ok) and just putting in all those thin little lines in the gaps between the other colors. I’ll getting more used to it now that I’m almost done lol that will just make it easier on the next project though!

        Ah, yeah it can be tricky with words because if the spacing is off by a stitch it’s sometimes way more obvious to our eyes and less easily fudged. But looks like you have it all under control!

          That’s exactly what happened here! I got all of the yellow and most of the black done before I realized two of the letters on the bottom row were off by one stitch! There’s just enough room there that it still works thankfully because I really didn’t want to rip out all of that and start over lol
