Alice Page 2 Complete!!

Well I know I always saying I'm almost there on things for Alice. But here's a for real page 2 finish. 
Black is always such a pain as the coverage never feels right up close. As you can see here: 



There are white gaps showing. However when I draw back to the width of the piece then of course it looks just fine. 
So I know I need to curtain my expectations when I'm looking at it from an inch or two away. 
Because here the 1 thread on 28ct over 1 looks fine: 


There you have it two pages done of more than I want to think about (40+ pages). At the rate I'm Stitching I'll be lucky to finish this in 10 years! Gotta have lofty goals right (lol). 

More Dragons on their way shortly and I just got amazing threads for Autumn Quaker by Rosewood that is sooo pretty. Once I pick out some fabric for it then it may need to be moved near the top of the list to be started. 
Thanks for drppping by and happy stitching!

Woohoo, Mel! Good for you on getting page 2 finished! What threads are you going to use for Autumn Quaker?

Yay for a page finish! I'm always happy to get one done. Of course I then switch to a different project because I've gotten tired of looking at the same colors for so long. ;)

Wow this looks amazing! I am dying to start a huge design like this but want to make sure it's the right one.

Great page finish! You're right, the coverage looks perfect from a bit back, and I think that's what matters.

We can be our worst critic at times. It looks great!

40+ pages?! What an amazing project! I bet you're really enjoying investing time in this piece, it looks great already :)

Happy dancing for your page finish. I have the same issue with black on my HaEDs. I have finally decided to ignore it because as you said it looks fine from viewing distance.
