Astral Lions by DMC

Well, I have decided to give this pattern another go. I started it once before and made so many mistakes that I ripped it all out. I hoped the fabric would still be usable, but it wasn't so I shopped around and found the complete kit on e-Bay last year. I hope to have this one finished by Christmas for my niece.
