With the big project finished, I embarked on something smaller a month ago...but I put it on hold. Now I'm at it again.

The grid is one square off on one column so the whole thing is off. Any better ways to make an accurate grid? I know pre-gridded is a thing but I have a couple of meters of that plain 14ct fabric that I want to use up.

How has your week been, did you work on anything exciting?

I'm finally finishing up this Wonder Woman pattern! The logo has proved to be more difficult than the rest of the pattern but it's been really fun to work on. Hopefully by this weekend I'll be able to post the finished piece!

I wish I had some advice for you on gridding, but I've never tried it. I might look in to it soon since I have some much more complicated patterns I want to work on next

That's so cool! Is the pattern self-drafted or did you get it from somewhere?

It's a pattern I bought on Etsy. I have some patterns I've made using Floss Cross that I'm working up the courage to try next lol

Looking great! So close to being able to show off the whole thing all together ๐Ÿ˜€

What's been difficult about the lettering? Is it just the counting and potential for mistakes there, or something else?
