It took me a while to figure out this band. Couldn't quite get my head round where to start - which meant a couple of weeks without stitching. Came back to it and managed to make it make sense and last night I got band 4 finished:

:applesauce: :applesauce: Stunning. I also find it sometimes hard to figure out how the specialty stitches fit together and then it seems to click. The cross stitch bands are a nice break but make me itch for the specialty ones. Seeing yours makes me want to stitch faster on my current piece so I can finish the page and get back to the sampler!

Beautiful! I think this is a great piece in either thread :dance: :dance: :dance: I am soooo tempted from seeing everyones pics----I must resist though....... :tantrum: :tantrum:

Ps: for me i find the biggest problem with the silk threads (besides the cost :lol: :lol: :lol: ) is that i find them so addictive to work with :roll: :roll: :roll:

can't wait to see more!!

It's looking splendid!!

I'm another one with this chart pleading with me to start it! I will be stitching with DMC as well, the silks are to die for to stitch with but the ££ make it too difficult.
