Thankyou, blackmageheart! I clearly suck at posting pictures xD
And Pyper, I'm not exactly sure! I was thinking about using a more silvery thread - perhaps go stare at the metallic DMC colours in the shop as I don't own any of them. I might do all the colours as the pattern says, then go over a few of the stars with the silver thread, one strand. No idea. I was foolish enough when cutting the fabric that I only have a spare seven squares free on the right hand border, so I might have to switch some of the stars around to make it look slightly better. I'll probably post a few more WIPs on twitter and then the final x-stitch when I've decided

Started on the turtle, Think I am still on track to finish by christmas.

Not sure about the dark green colour though, starting to worry that it is too dark.

This is looking lovely Did you stitch the red thread guidelines? Are you going to remove them when you've finished or just stitch over them?

[Pyper]

I tacked them in beforehand as a guide, each up or down is 5 stitches. I will remove them as best I can once I finish (fingers crossed)

I've nearly finished the turtle Still not sure what I will do for the stars though

Oh wow I LOOOOVE this!!! Any chance of you posting the pattern with your tweaked colors? (I like them!) I can't wait to see this finished!

[Pyper]

Will do when I finish - I'm about to tweaK more things as I don't like how the elephants are working so far

[evilcarrot]

Awesome! As if I need ANOTHER huge project to start, haha. (Currently working on the Optimus Prime "Change" poster, over 58,000 stitches, ouch!) I can't wait to see this finished!!
