Moving on

This design is not eyelet stitch, but it looks to me that it should be.  So mine is. 

Would it be quicker to stitch as charted?  Too late.

Cappuccino 40 count.  I tried a warmer, more golden linen, looked good.  But I couldn't visualize the entire piece on it.

Will I do the wonky border?  Not unless I can rework the two bottom corners.  If I can't I have another large border in mind.

Face on fire right now.  Bright red and HOT.  Steroid injections do it every time.

Have a good day!
