I made my chart from http://www.pic2pat.com/index.en.html - a free photo-cross stitch conversion chart site that allows you to choose the number of colour threads and gives you the corresponding cross stitch thread colours from the brand of your choice, which you can then match your yarn to.

17/9/12 - Just started! 2 rows in and there are ends EVERYWHERE!!

26/9/12 - 9 days in and only 12 rows complete. Agh! it’s taking me more than an hour per row and thats when I don’t make a mistake. Finding a one stitch error in this lot is a nightmare! I’m going to try and complete 2 rows every day, so just 62 more days to go….. :o/

29/9/12 - row 15 complete. I guess an average of 1 row a day is better than none, right?

10/10/12 - up to row 24 of 136. Can you see a chin and the bottom of kitty’s nose starting to appear? Only my mother would choose a leopard print colar…. ;o)

22/10/12 - row 41 complete, wow, this is hard going! Not really difficult, but a very slow, time consuming process.

29/10/12 - row 53 is now complete, getting closer and closer to 50% :o)

6/12/12 - row 72 complete. Yay past the half way point!

21/1/13 - row 90 complere 46 to go.

6/2/13 - row 121 complete jut 15 to go! This is going to need blocking, kitty is looking a bit squished!

15/2/13 FINISHED!
