A free chart by Michelle Sayetta from Heaven and Earth Designs.

Here is a print out of the original art that

the chart is based on. You might be able

to see the dragon and his ball taking shape now.

Not much accomplished for 3 hours of work. That happens when you get cocky and go zipping along, not paying enough attention. That's when you get to frog* several rows.

Since I know something is wrong on the left side, and that the right side is right, I'm going to finish that side and work back. Hopefully the mistake will show itself and I can either frog it or work around it.

As I stitch and count, strange thoughts go through me brain. Thought I'd share a sample and see if anyone else does what I do.

Third stitch up....next to the two right arrows....down two and over one....stitch three...next one is....down three and two to the left...next to the three stars in a row....one more wa-a-y down there.....thread is almost gone...can I stretch it or do I have to reload the needle for one stoopid stitch...thread came out twice, time for refill...I really hate this color so I sure hope it works as a highlight in the overall design....rats, where was I?....I need more coffee but I only have three stitches left...okay I can scratch off this row from the graph....that's the last of this color, I can get coffee now and maybe a bathroom break....man, my neck hurts....ahhhh, coffee...now where was I?....three half circles over and two stars down, stitch three right arrows in a row...not much to show for two and a half hours of work...all these single stitches of each color really takes a lot of time.

If you do this too, please email me and tell me so I feel better.

Just a bit done. Actually left the house for a few hours. <gasp>

Yesterday I just filled up holes so didn't take a pic. Here's what I've done today as of 4:06 pm Pacific time.

Put your chart on a metal tin and hold it down with small magnets. This keeps it from blowing away, lets you fold the chart and keep it flat, plus your needles will congregate around the magnets.

Note: The horizontal lines you see are not part of the pattern or fabric. That is from being so

close to the Ott Light. Once I get a light box set up, they should disappear.
