As I'm wrapping up the project I'm working on, I'm getting the itch to start my new one! To pacify myself, I'm getting things "prepped" on my Angel of Hope work, so I'll have it all ready to go!
One of the things I'm prepping are....Gridlines!!! I've never used them on my work before, but from what I've read they come in handy and help decrease mistakes and frogging.
I've seen other's post their WIP pictures with gridlines, some are drawn with non-permanent marker and others mark theirs with thread.
I wonder if there are other ways out there I haven't come across?
I decided to go with using thread. I'm sewing a 6-up and 4-down pattern, to create my 10-count squares. It's a grueling process so far, but if it pays off in the end I'll be happy!!
Here's what my work looks like so far:
Hoping to get some stitching time in today after work!
p.s. - I have 1 follower!! Love my hubby! :)

You are too funny with the one follower. LOL. Now I am a follower too.
I started blogging almost 5 years ago. The first 4 years I barely totalled 57 followers. It is just this year that I started getting serious about blogging because it is a way to share lots of stitchng. Love to have many followers because then I can see their crafting too.
Good luck with your gridding and blog. You're off to a fine start!
Happy stitching,
