Tralala Nina fonalaival / Tralala with Nina's threads

Tegnap megkaptam Nina fonalait a postástól (a történet itt), és gyönyörűek. Gyorsan neki is fogtam a Tralala Jardin d'été mintának, legyen egy kis nyár a télben! A fényviszonyok nem igazán kedveztek a színeknek, talán a közeli adja legjobban vissza az eredetit. Elhatároztam, hogy kipróbálom a fonalfektetést (railroading), eddig jól megy, de a színátmenetes fonal miatt teljes x-ket varrok, a hátulja egy nagy dzsumbuj, és nem igazán lesz egyenletes a végeredmény, valamit ki kell találnom erre. Bármi ötletet, tanácsot szívesen fogadok!

Yesterday I had received Nina's threads from the postman (story behind is here), and I quickly started to stitch Jardin d'été from Tralala. A little summer in the big winter! The light is not very good for the colours, maybe the closeup is the closest to the original. This is the first time I tried railroading, I hope I can manage it, until now it does not seem to be terrible. But I am fighting with the full crosses I use due to the hand dyed variegated floss, I do not like the final effect, and the back is mixed up. All  advice is appreciated!

I think the effect is lovely! It takes some getting used to stitching with overdyed floss. I see your stitches are really neat and tidy. I've tried railroading but it doesn't quite work for me plus it takes so long. The design is so pretty!!

Agi, I think your stitches are looking beautiful. As for the back, no one will see it, so I'd let it be. :)
