I thought I would never get back to it.  Although for full disclosure I made a terrible mistake.  I had thought I'd scrolled my pdf chart up to the top of the next diagonal, but I was about a third of the way down without realising it.  Thus, the rows that I had stitched at the top were not as charted.  However, the beauty of this background is that it really will not show.  I deleted the highlights I had marked my stitching with, finished off all threads and started on the next row with a clean slate of charted stitches, and re-highlighted the correct portion of the chart.  

In my defence, I was a little bit distracted as my darling Husband had been taken ill, and I was waiting for one of his team to bring him home.  He's safe and sound and tucked up on the sofa, but is a poorly sick chap.

Working 1 over 1 on evenweave for this HAED is great, and it really does stitch up quickly, although this pattern is not all that great from a reader's perspective because of all the blue background.  Fear not, I will have a brand new start this month on another HAED, which is by far and away more detailed.  I'm going to work out this weekend what fabric I will need and also what the first 2 diagonal stitch colours are.  I will be simply cock-a-hoop to start it.

I'm off to look after my chap.  So goodnight.
