it actually wasn't that bad doing the cross country as I did the top rows and worked my way down, so only had to count a few spaces, but I do tend to count more than once just to be sure.

Really is starting to look very nice. I love the random way you are doing areas rather than confining yourself to finishing a page at a time.

I like the effect of the stitches scattered across the fabric, it gives you an idea of all the other lovely parts that are going to be there!

thank you for your lovely comments. I do love to stitch randomly, some times a page just grabs you and that's what I love.

I'm loving your progress on this one. Ijust started it yesterday as my HaED challenge piece, though I've only got about 600 stitches done so far.

You are making a beautiful job.

That is a beautiful project! Gyork, what type of stand are you using for such a large project?

hi, thank you. I am not using a stand, I use a frame and just fold the excess fabric and pin it to the edge, works ok for me.

Thank you. Ahhh I didn't realise there was a new challenge, oh may have to start a new page and join that one, as I am amazed I managed to complete a previous challenge in the allotted time.

Love watching this come together can't wait for another update.

Your brave to move across like that but I like seeing how it will come together

What a beautiful project! You're making wonderful progress. Can't wait to see the next update!

That is a picture to really behold, superb progress on what is going to be something out of this world, can't wait to see the project finished.

Started challenge 4 on 6th January, amazed how quickly it's coming together. Love these challenges.

Looking good!!!

That's looking like a nice start to the challenge. It will be fun to watch this come together.

That is going to be so interesting to watch it coming together. A great start.

Lovely work on your challenge page.

I started this chart as my first HaED and my challenge piece. I love seeing your updates and can't wait till I'm as far on as you are.

I am just loving how The Astronomer is coming together, this is a challenge page, has to be completed by the end of March to get a free HAED chart (as if I need another one).

It's amazing how a few stitches here and there can make such a difference in the way it looks.

Hope you don't mind me posting this, as I love showing the detail.

What a beaut update and great to see parts of the telescope etc making it into being. Well Done.

Great update for the challenge. I agree that it's so much fun to see watch how an image can appear or get clearer with just a few stitches in just the right place. I'm looking forward to more updates.

It's really starting to look great so much detail
