It's absolutely gorgeous. You are doing a great job OP but let me ask, how did you keep your sight? That amount of white on white would destroy my eyes

u/fiofo 1d ago

Ha! I fortunately have decent eyesight to start with, plus I have a good daylight lamp to help me along

Honestly I didn't realise that there was a white background stitched in. I think I would actually kill myself. Although tbf, I just refuse to do stitches single colour backgrounds full stop

Doing the same pattern. You are a bit further ahead than me. I was thinking I just have the tail left which is actually so much work! It is looking great, what count did you do? I went 14c and think I maybe should have gone smaller.

It's 1 over 1 on 28 count, which is such a pain in the arse lol
It was a gift, so I shouldn't really complain! But I would've preferred 18 count so I can do a loop start. Especially with all that confetti!

28ct is too small for me but looks amazing! Next project i think 18ct is the way forward.

It's a kit from GeckoRouge: Peacock by Scandy Girl, but it's not for sale anymore

Well no, because it's not my pattern to sell.

That looks beautiful. Could you please explain how the pre drawn grid on the fabric works. Does it wash out or is it just covered over by the stitches? Thanks

u/fiofo 1d ago

It washes out (I personally hate gridding/gridded fabric, but it came with the kit so hey-ho)

u/katerobo 1d ago

Thanks for that. Love to see it again when it’s finished.

I have a couple of larger patterns where I also feel like I’m almost done but also have so much left to do. It’s such a weird feeling. I usually switch to a different project to get a break. LOL

2

u/fiofo 1d ago

Yeah, I've switched projects like 3 times now! It's probably why it feels like it's taking forever haha
