It will be fun to see all the cats emerge on the fabric as you progress! Is there a reason why you chose to stitch this pattern with full cross and not tent stitch?
Let's do the process together, it'll be a fun process. Some pattern (victorian, CONSERVATORY) has a lot of sky, and the overall brightness is mixed with tent stitch. But this pattern has a lot of dark colors overall . So I don't want mix tent stitching. Happy stitching!
I think parking stitch should be calmly and patiently. If you're hasty you'll feel slow and bored . Especially the same color..... At some point the progress goes well and a great picture appears. Happy stitching!
