I just finished this and it is lovely!! As I was working it my husband kept commenting on how pretty it was, and that's not common. I did it in black on white with 2 threads on 18 count Aida. If Blackwork is new for you I would recommend 14 count and use a single strand of thread. The pattern gets pretty "dense" using 2 threads (I think the pattern recommends only 1 thread), but it looks great. The pattern is on nice heavy paper and the instructions are very clear and easy to understand. I will do more patterns from Dragon Dreams for sure.
