I think it was only the second time I've sat down to stitch this year so have a bit of catching up to do! Pattern is A Crazy Wonderful Owl Family by HAED.

So colourful! Also love the needle minder. I saw in another comment that you used to do railroading. Does it make a difference? I just stitch without a care in the world and it comes out alright at a pace I'm happy with. Some stitches appear tighter than others... But when washed, ironed and framed, it isn't exactly obvious.

I don't think railroading makes all that much of a difference unless you're using more than two strands on a big count. I think I was just complicating things for myself and I'm much happier not bothering. You've just got to find your own sweet spot and figure out what works for you!
