Besides all mathematics and chemistry, I´ve been able to work on this almost every day. It´s almost scary how long time it takes! Specially on the details!

This is how far I´ve come since I started last thursday.. Just for fun, I check how many stitches I have left after every "session", and count in percent.
The picture shows about 3,6 %. :nod

Why world 4? Any special reasons?

Nice! How do you count in percent? Do you count your stitches after every "session"? Seems annoying to do...

Hmm.. no.. I´ve seen some worlds (1, 2 and 8) and I thought it would be more "interesting" to sew something new.
The others ones was a little bit boring and in the number 4 there were sooo many beautiful colours! :D

Oh my, that would take like forever to do! :) Instead of printing out the pattern, my sewingplace is next
to the computer and then I simple erase every stitch I´ve made. (Always done this and it´s so much easier to see and concentrate
on the ones left). I use kg-chart and there is a little little button up in the right corner "!". When i´ve erased, the program
calculates how many stitches i´ve done.. and there it is. I save the data a excel-document, which gives me a great overview
of my work. I think it´s more of a project to do it like this. And it gives me a clue of when I can be finished. If i hold on to my
0,7 % / day it will take me 143 days to complete.

Thanks y´all! :) I will try to take a new picture every 5 % or something like this. Hopefully my ambitions will stay besides me all the way..

Oh, okay. I didn't know KG-Chart could calculate this :)

I´m starting to believe KG-chart ( and other similar programs too!) is from heaven sent. God´s gift to us engaged.

Thank you for all the positive feedback! I´m still going strong! :) Yesterday I finally got my order från hobbygruppen
(so far, they are the cheapest on DMC here in sweden.. i think..), but some of the colours were out of stock! :(
