[alaith_rose91]

Been looking through these bored for nearly a year now but only just joined finally wanting to share my work on here too!

I have worked on this beast for just over 2 years now and working on it a lot more recently since i am FINALLY away from the background and onto Mr.Lich himself.

All together he is 25" (350 stitches) wide x 30.5" (420 stitches) tall
Total = 147000 Stitches

That is incredible! I too am unfamiliar with the Lich King, but it's still beautiful. We need future update photos!

I love using the grid system big and small projects! I use grids on larger projects just to make sure i get the right amount of aida cut ad kinda like a progress thing "oooh i've done X number blocks out of X number of blocks on this page!" I know i sound crazy!
I also use it on smaller projects that have a lot of detail and confetti stitching like this one im working on too. It just helps make sure the stitches are in the right place because im not that good at counting spaces, i always seem to count it wrong lol.

thanks
you're doing awesome on the second project too!!

i just watched some videos on youtube about parking and grinding .....i am really interested i just worry i would be discouraged not seeing things come together. like right now I'm working on a mountain but i could be bored in twenty minutes and move off to do a forest or a tree. working square by square it would take forever to see shapes and designs i believe but i do do do love this concept.

Sometimes it can be a little discouraging but you know in your head if you plough your way through it then at the end it will look amazing.
Another way of working with a grid system is doing one colour at a time on each page and again the grid will make sure your stitches are in the right places i just get bored with doing one colour for ages.
