I am counting the stiches though, and believe me, I have gotten soooo lost a hundred times over on the forehead with all the blend of grey and tan. :eek:
I can't wait to start on the next ones! :D
That is really great that a program can do that for you. I know my mom would love that. She does cross-stiching as well.
What is the program called and where could I buy something like this? I'm very interested to try this out myself.:)
My wife does cross-stich, I did many years ago, She is known as the cross-stich lady at the hobby shows.
Beautiful work. I can't wait to see the finnish.
