I managed to find some monk cloth at a fabric store near me because it will be a while before I can pick up the linen from my sister's friend. Felt an overwhelming need to start, so I'm using it with some variagated garnet DMC that I have (I think it's 115). Pardon the unevenness of the stitches. It has been decades since I have done cross stitch. 🙂
Trying to decide between Naxos Lattice and Rozain.
You've made a good start whichever design your choose. Keep us all posted.
