i woring on 2 projects of HEAD - sun, luna and stella by selian fench and " the awekening of psyche" -
both i stitch on 14 aida - 2 strands on the nidlle.
i found it hard to stitch the awekening of psyche (lots of whitw and bright colors) so i'm taking some time off and stitching selina's work...
i think the work is coming great :)

I am doing Winter Pony 2over1 on 25ct linen. I agree that it is slower than working on 18ct but it looks so damn pretty - like a canvas. The first three rows of pages (pg1-24) contain so much detail, that they take forever to stitch. The rest is mostly larger areas, so I look forward to stitching away at higher pace. I use tiny gold needles which allow for easy passing through holes.

For the next HAED project - haven't decided which one yet - I will be stitching on 18ct 2o1 because of prettyer stitches and also you get a larger finished project to hang on your wall. Would never do a larger project than being able to stitch them on scroll bars. Don't know what the broadest size is, though.

I love HAED. This is my first project - used to do dimensions kits. I can almost certainly say that I will never do anything but HAED again. I have several must-do-projects lined up and more than enough for my lifetime :-)

    you can stitch it on 18 count, it's not that much bigger and yes 2 over 1 works fine on 18 count :)

I am working two haed patterns right now, for one I am using 25ct 1over 1  as I tried with 2 threads and it was way too thick. the other one one I am working it on 28ct 1 over1 too, both are coming one pretty good.

oh yeah and I have not finish my qs yet (the one on 18ct)

I've heard they take forever and a day, but there are a few that I REALLY REALLY loved, so one day when I'm feeling ambitious, will attempt my first HAED, but was thinking linen as well for it.
