My eyes!!

Sending Labrador first-class post!

Will await delivery with bated breath ... just what I need! Does he like cats?

Yes, but can't eat a whole one as WC Fields is reported to have said.

A labrador could eat anything any time anywhere.

Hehehe! Saves a bit for sandwiches does he?

everyone

Do you use a magnifier KateK ? I have one which hangs around my neck for anything too tricky to see. It might help when you start your next project (penguins on an iceberg?)

I don't actually use a magnifier-maybe it's something I should invest in. I don't wear glasses so it's never really crossed my mind to buy an aid of any sort. I tell you I was so glad when I got to the black stripes! (white cat in a snowstorm for next project perhaps?!?)

Have you tried Polaroid sunglasses or any tinted lens. They may take the edge off the severe contrast.

There's a thought...will try them on next white on white bit, think there's a monkey's tum still to do.

If I am correct it sounds like cross stitch I'm working on a a peice only taken me 20 years ,like the ideaa of a magnifyer around the neck .Just bought a small desk light which helps ,however find that yellow and cream and white stitches I can only do really well in the day light .

I couldn't get on with one of those magnifiers you hang round your neck. I think it was because both eyes were looking through the same lens, instead of separate lenses as you do with specs. I felt seasick when I wore it. I bought another version quite recently, with interchangeable lenses and a light, but it was no better.

Just seen an advert for eyejusters any one used them .
