Very slowly, some stems and a bud have formed over the weekend :)
The ingenuity of this design (and perhaps most of VEs designs) is that it there are different items to do according to mood. It allows the stitcher to pick an easy, moderate of elaborate item. One such simple item is the leaf on the left. Because I am new to linen and VEs designs, I needed the security of the border, so I started with the 1/2 stitches of stem, building upwards toward the leaf. It was a pleasure to see the leaf forming. And to my utmost surprise, the leaf formed very quickly ! And then I plodded towards the other bigger leaf . . . got quite bored with greens . . and promptly got seduced by the red bits in the bud !
Apologies for the super-bad lighting, will find out how to do better next !

Evenweave has threads that are more even than linen.
Ive bought aida 25ct. is it the same like linen? i want to make "HAED Christmas Tree Bear". But it needs a long time to stitch coz the pattern has 50 pages:D:loveliness:
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, w

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
