Guinea Pigs finished at last
This is a gift for my lovely granddaughter Holly who loves Guinea Pigs. It is the hardest thing I've tried because the chart is a pic of the finished item with tiny dots representing the colours. The pattern of dots in the greens were the same as the ones in the browns, so copying and printing in greys didn't work out. And it was very small - I needed a magnifier to see it at all. I only managed to finish because I could hold it on my stand and keep my place while I consulted the chart. Several times it came close to being a UFO and I do mean flying object - flying toward the bin!
I have a real feeling of achievement on this one.

Well I for one am glad it didn't become a UFO (of whatever type ), it's lovely! I've had several guinea pigs over the years and this is just sooooo guinea pig, she'll absolutely adore it!

It's so cute! Glad you muddled through the chart- I don't know why some charts are so difficult to follow! Your granddaughter will love it!

Re: Guinea Pigs finished at last
Oh, well done you, especially since it was so difficult to read the chart! I love guinea pigs - used to own two smooth coated ones when my children were young, and they were a delight.
