I have picked up 'Tiger on the Rock' after about a years break from it-Now I remember why!!It has alot of colour changes so im working with about 10 threaded needles,and it's slow progress! It will be worth it at the end though!
This is how it will hopefully look at the end!

You've already done quite a bit and it's looking great.
What a fantastic project.

You've done such a lot already -- well done! And yes, it's definitely going to be worth it in the end, what a stunning design.

Impressive design. What a wonderful picture and so dramatic on the black. You have done a great deal of work with us encouraging you it should be done in no time.

So when is the next progress picture???

Its been slow progress this last few days, unfortunalty i've only has about two hours of stitching time! I could have done a few more hours last night but had a delivery of 100 new threads(and got very excited

), and was to busy putting them on bobbins

But I have done the next 'section' of rock,so think im more than half way though-yey! Think I will have to save the pennies for a day light lamp I think, finding it difficult to see on the black in the evenings!!

Hopefully get a pic on soon!

Oh I was like that when I got some threads and bits. It's so exciting to get it all sorted and see your collection of bobbins grow!

Looking forward to seeing a progress picture soon.

Okay I know I'm probably being really stupid here, but as someone who's always used kits with ready-carded threads, I just wondered what you mean by winding onto bobbins. What am I missing ??

That's going to look stunning

and the work you've done so far is fab

When you buy floss skeins some of use also like to buy the plastic bobbins that DMC sells and wind the thread on to it. It makes it easier to work off of. No tangled thread. This is a link to what they look like.

Oh wow! You are just doing so well with this project! It is beautiful.

Doesn't it look stunning on the black -- and you're doing so well to make such progress on a dark material; it can be quite hard on the eyes!
