Fractal 53

Here is where I got up to on this before I decided I couldn't cope with stitching a 17" square design on 22ct Hardanger and constantly having to watch which direction I was stitching my crosses so that they didn't slip under the weave. I then ordered some 18ct aida - there isn't much choice in black - and that finally arrived so I'll start again soon. It will be bigger and I think it would have looked great on the 22ct, but it was driving me mad rather than being a nice relaxing stitch.
