Looks pretty tight already. I would say rolling is the only order of the day. What size threads did you use? I am guessing A and D. Looks like you did really well. This pattern is pretty high on the difficulty because of the stripes and blotches.

Nice job Ralph!! I was wondering why there was so much dust in the Noreast RB forum today, lol. That Weave thread had cobwebs and tubleweed all over it. I'm expecting to see a few Carp, not Smallies.
