King Tut’

Just realised I still didn’t post a picture of my progress on this beautiful design…..on the other hand, it does mean you will actally be able to see what it is
If you haven’t heard me go on (and on) about this chart in previous blog entries, it is the recent Superchart from CrossStitcher.
Rachael is further along than I am if you would like to see more – she also has some other very beautiful projects on the go, I don’t know how she keeps up with them all!!
I am so in love with this design, and so far I just don’t want to put it down for any other stitching. I have more Egyptian charts lined up to stitch after this one, and one day I really must get back to my beloved ‘Boy King’ that sees so few stitches each year…

Looks wonderful Jo!, Are you using Anchor threads as it does look a slightly different shade to mine, although it could be the photo that changes it . Still looks fabulous though!! Makes me want to stitch on mine!!lol

Rachael – I am using a combination….but the colours that actually look different from yours in the pic (eg. the darker blue), are actually the DMC ones, so I do think it is the photo making the difference. When I get the laptop back in action, I will get a scan so the colours are more true.
I hope it has tempted you enough to work on yours again, you are quite a bit further along than me and I can’t wait to see more….the cover pic is nice, but ‘real’ stitching is so much better!!
