Re: Blastoise!
Well, usually when I use it on its own I use a double strand on 28ct over two, or I use one strand with two strands of cotton for a very subtle sparkle. On the needlecase i used only one of white metallic with three strands of ordinary white, but that's because there I really just wanted a ghost of a sparkle

Re: Blastoise!
You have made a great start and he is very cute. Not sure I like the other two but I guess the kids like them

Re: Blastoise!
Quick update on our mate Blastoise.
Not taken in the best of lights I'm afraid but I'll try and get a daylight one next time.
Haven't had much time to stitch with one thing and another lately, but hopefully by the weekend I'll get more time again.

Re: Blastoise!
Looks like great progress to me. But I guess we all wish we had more time to stitch.
