Croakie, II

A friend of mine commented the other day that I should be finished stitching my croakie by now.  I guess she thought because it was just "plain old" nobuko, it should be super fast.  Wrong!  18mesh is 18mesh is 18mesh.  I am making progress and am pleased with how it looks.  So much so that I'm thinking a belt would look great done in this pattern.  The possibilities are endless!

Here is my progress:

That is tiny--yuck!  I wonder if it gets much larger when you click on it?  Time out while I investigate.

Well, I got it larger--I hope you can see the pattern.  Sometimes blogging is a real pain!
