Ripped out a LOT. Giving another try. (EDITED post)
I was not happy with the large circle or knotted flowers. Thought there was too much - squished too many stitches in too small of a circle.
Ripped a lot out and gave another 'go'. Knotted flowers changed to woven petals. Larger 'grid' to practice the motif of woven/knotted areas.
(3 flower cluster DMC #12, Col 794 blue, 223 Rose, 676 Gold); outside ring 676 Gold, 316 Rose, 503 green; 2 Leaf made with DMC 928 & DMC 503; lg circle 316 rose, 676 grid/knots)
Practice on the flowers - they all need rings of knots near the outside circle.
single circles / floral: Anchor 12, Col. 0968 and 0969.
The circle was challenging - Now that I have the hang of it. I laced a new piece of fabric on a frame to try the circle pattern again. Will try larger circle with grid / outside ring. Maybe it will look better now that I understand the patterns.
