Hi, Half symbols for beads? I think they half symbols are baby corn and the green NPI, to help to shape around the greenish colored turnips. I didn't do any beading.... plan to do that later... going to grab the chart now since Leslie agrees with you... Oh no, I am right. See... the background of the 3 is yellow which is Baby Corn Gloriana :-) Forget what I said about the green NPI, those are all whole stitches anyhow.... I was up past 2 AM finishing, so my memory is a bit fuzzy....
OK, you seriously need to post some pics again!! LOL Have a great weekend!
Karen-
I think that those threes are actually the Baby Corn from Gloriana. I had the same question. Pondering how to do a quarter stitch with beads until I noticed that the symbol for Baby Corn is also a three. Since Martina didn't mention beading in the direction I guessed she meant the thread. Very confusing!!!
