Yeowch, Link! Heal up fast!

I finished my band- I'm glad I caved and bought the colours in the list (I made 2 substitutions)
The colours are gorgeous- I'm going to buy a few new shirts with my birthday money, and waste this band onto one of them :D

Everyone's progress looks great! I'm hoping to get started tonight. I couldn't decide what kind of border to do, but I finally got it patterned out. I'm really excited to be stitching with color again - my charity square has 8K white stitches and I'm only half done with those... :doh:

Get well soon to those not feeling well! :sorry:

Hmm now that I've seen it sewn, I don't think I will fiddle with this one, loving the colours!!

I'm almost done the first band, getting ready to do the border and then will start on the second. I was hoping to map out my borders in PC Stitch but the program isn't allowing me to open the files. Maybe a version issue? I don't know. I also can't open the KG chart files either but that is because I have an old version and am too lazy. Here's to winging it!!

Even though I was trying not to buy any colors for this project, I realized last night that I didn't have the last two colors for the bottom of the two end arrows. I didn't have any colors even close to them, so I had to buy 2 colors. Should be finished by the end of the day!

All the stitchings so far are looking awesome. I love how they're all alike, but oh so different. :D

Didn't take very long to finish. Now I'm going to work on designing a border, methinks. :)

Here's my version. However, I'm in a quandry...should I finish outlining them or leave them as is (and unstitch the outline I've already done)?

I prefer it without the outlining personally.

Its funny how this one isn't so different from the original after all! XD
