Have no fear Izper ! Now you know you are a passionate stitcher in the truest sense :) I think most of us share your feeling of having so many designs we love, want to stitch, but not stitching fast 'enough', not to mention spending way too much time in this forum (if ther is such a thing as spending too much time here !).
Stitching a design is just like being in love, building a relationship. It takes time, yes, but because we love it, the passage of time is not painful. Even the more mundane things like prep work like gridding is in some way pleasureable. Take your time, watch the way the strands covers the threads to form the perfect 'x'. After completing a few strands, I put down my work, sit back, and admire my work - nothing spectacular, but I just love to look at the magic that actually came from my fingers with coloured threads !
Especially with evenweave, one needs to take time. I am currently working on linen, and am still learning about this wonderful fabric. There is a certain satisfaction every time I put the needle thru the correct hole over 2.
Take your time, enjoy it . . . you are after all, crafting a heirloom !
Cheers, p
