This is what I hope it looks like when I get finished.
So this is where we started and to tell you the truth, I had a lot of trouble sorting out the floss on this one, there are several colors that are near in shade and I don't know if my eyes are just getting old but when I finished sorting them I was missing several colors. Luckily for me the pattern listed the colors with the DMC numbers, so I raided my floss collection and pulled the colors I needed from there.
It was kinda slow going at first, and I made a mistake on the foot of the 3rd cat and had to pull it out. My mistake was using the wrong color for the center of the foot.
It started moving along but I quickly realized that my eyes are getting old and had to start using my magnifying glass to see the stitches. It makes seeing the area I'm working on a lot better.
The cats were really starting to come along but it felt like I was never going to get the first page one. The pattern has 3 1/4 pages.
Here is what the pattern looks like.
This is where it started getting exciting, page one is almost one at this point.
And finally page one was finished, this had to be the longest it ever took me to finish one page of a cross stitch.
In the next blog, I will start showing pictures of page two.
