than you all. :D

This is lovely to work - 16 ct & Anchor threads go through it like a hot knife through butter - no need to untwist thread either,
Another update on Thursday.

Thank you Sally. Last night did another shade of yellow in blank area & when I got a bit tired started dark brown along top so it looks even more shaped now. Another few stitches in dark & medium brown & will then go to other window on right to have a change of colour before doing more thatch.

Got in a bit of a panic the other night as I wasn't sure which way to go with the various shades of yellow & brown. Silly really as when I did sit down & think about it, the route to do stitching was much easier than I first thought.
