How about in the UK? Do you think it'd be worth getting one, I was considering sewing marks along one edge of my big project...

You might have to ask one of your fellow Brits about where to obtain one as I'm in the U.S. I can see them being very beneficial for a large project, but as I've never attempted anything larger than 8"x10", I've never had use of one.

I fell in love with this pattern, so I had to try it. I've been working on it since September 17, and I've been taking progress photos and putting them up on my facebook, keeping track of my time as I go. It's been a lot of fun! I've put in a lot of work on it over the holiday weekend.

I'm actually a little farther than this picture, but I was too tired to upload that picture last night when I got home.

Oh sorry, just seen your question. I use a special fabrics marker... It slowly dissolves with use and dissolves in water as well. I got mine in Holland (where I live), have no idea where in the UK you can get it.

Nice work in progress DcptcnCrescendo's! Keep it up!

I got a few days off for newyears and did get some stitching done. I'm further than this picture, will make another tonight ;)

Everyone is doing so amazing with this pattern. And holy colour!! If I didn't already have two rediculously large projects on the go, not to mention a couple knitting projects I would jump right into this even though I was more of a Digimon fan thank Pokemon.

Gah! So bright and cheerful! I loves it!!!

Keep up the awesome work everyone!

As promissed, another update-picture from me... And I foresee more of them in the coming period as my husband just started a new job for which he is away often, so that leaves me home alone with my daughter. But as soon as she is in bed and asleep I can stitch the night away :D

Love everyone's progress! Sorry hubby will be away often, Lijnloos, but at least you've got something to pass the time :D

I (finally!) printed this pattern off last night. My goal is to start this by the end of the year, but we'll see. It's at the bottom of a very large pile of patterns that I would like to get done this year. I'm finally going to do some stitching for me and want to get the smaller projects out the way first.
