I chose Viennese Waltz by John Clayton, a counted cross stitch kit. I stitched another kit in the series, Tango 5 years ago, that was my third ever blog post! I started this one about a year later, but it got packed away. Here is how it looked three weeks ago:
I think I know why it was packed away, I've discovered a lot of mistakes in the purple area! I'm just ignoring them and working round them, it's not vital to the design. Here is where I am now.
I've actually done quite a lot of that background, it's just difficult to see. I'm going to plug on and get the background finished before I start the next page. I took the photo with the frame resting on one of the bunny runs, so I thought I'd snap a photo of the occupants.
The other two were hiding from me.

Yes, absolute details in the background won't matter here, as long as overall, the graduation is about right.
That's a lovely design and the purple background looks fine :)
Oh i can see why you put this one away but now it will be finished at last. It's very pretty :-)
Looks a beautiful cross stitch design. Pretty colours! :) x
Lovely! The graduation in the purple is much prettier now; you've done a lot of work!
