Ive bought aida 25ct. is it the same like linen? i want to make "HAED Christmas Tree Bear". But it...

Aida is different from linen & evenweave because aida threads are already grouped in blocks.The blocks are neat little squares making counting and seeing the holes easier.With linen & evenweave, we need to train our eyes to visually group the threads in twos, hence the over 2 threads.

With a HAED design, aida might work better !When trying out evenweave / linen for the first time, select a design that has most of the stitches in a group eg a mouse.This will help with getting used to the new fabric.

Enjoy !

Thanks dagada. Because I stitch so slowly, I start imagining how it will look like when finished, but find that its more real to just stare at the charts ;P

Cheers, p

Her designs have such a graceful style. This is already beautiful.

Totally agree.She has a way of blending the colours so subtly, resulting in delicate nuances that are rich at the same time.

Thanks for popping by :)
