Counted cross stitch is all I do, but I have to be careful with the counting, and I do make mistakes that require unpicking from time to time.
Yes, it was, although I'd only just stared the third one. Would have been far worse if it had been almost finished. As it is, I'm making good progress with the new version. Finished the leaves and some of the flowers today.
Also found a possible candidate for my sister's birthday, an art deco lady's head in profile, with a rose and butterfly border. It's very pretty, and made even more desirable by the fact that the fabric is already cut and prepared, tucked in the magazine. It's another on 20 count though. Then again, her birthday isn't until April next year, so plenty of time! I sill might change my mind if I find something I like better, I have lots more magazines to look through, but we'll see.
