Row 4 & 8

I added row 4 & 8.  See the line of encroaching Gobelin below the top row and above the Herringbone row?  Some progress here and there.

Row 7

Row 7 is a Herringbone stitch worked with ten different fibers from floss, Kreinik to Neon Rays.

And fixed!

Got row 6 right this time!  Moving on!

Back tracking

So I was working along on row 7 and caught my mistake!  I started row 6 over one thread further than I should.  See above.  It is supposed to line up with row 5!  I am ripping it all out and starting over!
