Thank you for all your kind words. So encouraging!

It is such a large chart with small symbols that I enlarged it unto several pages. This afternoon, I was struggling between two pages, which overlapped each other. My DH came to the rescue and cut the excess from one page and stuck the 2 pages together. I cannot cut in a straight line, so that was really helpful!

Thank you very much for your kind words :D

The second hand is finished ( It is the last bit of stitching 1 over 1) and I started the second wing.
Thank you for looking.

Glad to see stubbornness triumphed while stitching the face!

I've never done 1 over 1 full cross on 28 ct, but I'm 40,000 stiches into each of 2 projects entirely 2 over 1 tent stitch on 28 ct, so I can sympathise on how much concentration you must have put in. And also see the magnitude of the effort you've had to put in so far. I think you're doing a brilliant job. Congratulations. It must almost feel as if it's flying by now you're onto the 14ct areas.

Regards,

Richard.

Wow, my 1/1 area of stitching is nothing compare to 40,000 stitches! As you said before, it is one stitch at a time and I made sure that I was very careful forming each of them as her face is crucial to the design.
On you tube, I saw a video comparing 1 over 1 full cross on evenweave and 2 over one tent stitch also on evenweave. There is hardly any difference.
The results will be amazing, being stitched 2 over one on the entire design!
