Stitching from the chart but following the angle of my berry template. The stars' points on the right are charted one stitch less than the other points so I added to balance. But I can't get a rhythm. Nowhere near. So many placement errors and picking it's ridiculous for such a simple star and also the tulips.
Thread is called Gunmetal, very soft, shades of lavender and faded blue.
If I continue having issues, I can shorten the height and finish into a beautiful heart.
Kitting another now for my monogamousity pause.
Be safe!

Greetings Marly: I have had a few designs that drove me to drink a load of coffee which did not help when i got the jitters, I do not like pulling out threads especially weeks dye works, expensive threads and then I have to waste, icky.
This is a lovely color of thread, I like the pattern so far.

Soooo pretty, Marly!
Another awesome finish-to-be!
That is an absolutely gorgeous color. I hope the stitching goes easier for you, I look forward to seeing more of this work.
Such a lovely soft color and beautiful chart. Hope you will have finished this one by now...it is too beautiful not to finish this one.
Take care,Truus from Holland
I do like Gunmetal. The shades of gray and blue are perfect for this stitch. I was having a horrible time myself doing some 1 over 1 in my project. Finally after much picking myself got into the swing of it. Janice
That is such a pretty pattern and the thread color is perfect!
Lavender isn't usually in my top tier of favorite colors but the combination of it in this floss is gorgeous! I can't decide which finish I'd favor most...thinking both would be wonderful. Maybe once you find your rhythm (which you will!) you can do both.
