Hoping to get George finished very soon, maybe the end of the month...

oh sweetcarer, i'm so sorry. *hugs* we're here for you if you'd like to chat. i lost my gran on dec 29th last year and still miss her so much. she was such a big part of my life and i helped care for her in her last months. its corny i know but stitching helped me fill the time each week that i'd usually have spent with her. *hug*

:huh: i'm very confused. i've just stitched a little motif for the doves from the last Crossstitcher mag and it DOESNT FIT in the hole in the dove

i mean by a good 2 stitches, so it really doesnt fit. i've checked the chart a few times, and counted the chart and my stitching and both have used 14 squares accross... there are a few stitches i wasnt sure about whether they were halves or fulls, (i did them as halfs) but that shouldnt make a different should it? :huh:

PLEASE could someone with the mag check the chart for me? its the blue flower thing second to the left on the bottom. do you count 14 accross? :huh: Thanks in advance!

my camera isnt talking to my puter at the moment, so i cant post a piccy and REALLY need to leave for work, i'm going to be late as it is!

I know how you are feeling - my Grandad died on Monday afternoon. He has been ill for a while so it wasn't unexpected, just a bit of a shock when the news comes through.:(

I hope you and the family are okay and funeral arrangements are going smoothly. If you need to chat, just give me a shout

Have you used the fabric provided in the kit? If not then is your fabric a different stitch count than the stuff in the kit? That's the only suggestion I can think of...
