Yesterday Marj noticed that I'd screwed up the description of Rainbow Gallery's line of silk perles that are in the same colors as their Splendor, which is their silk floss line.
I bought Grandeur, which is the size of #5 perle. That would work on 18 count nicely except it doesn't look good next to my two plies of Mandarin Floss when both threads are doing tent stitches.
I should have bought Subtlety (#12 perle, the smallest size) but the counted thread shop doesn't carry it or Elegance, which is the middle #8 perle size. Hope I didn't confuse anyone!

And on another topic Pat noticed that I've added a new feature to the Blogspot blog--a list of blogs I like to read with the latest title and time it was updated. Hopefully this will tempt more of you to look at other blogs and see what other folks have to say about their needlepoint.
Not much needlework is going on in Chilly Hollow this weekend but if I'm not too pooped tonight I'll continue to tent stitch the lily pad leaves around the goldfish.
