Why you ask? Because I have just purchased a HAED chart.......
It is The Green Man Cernunnos. I have just ordered 25ct Dublin Linen for it from www.sewandso.co.uk
I didn't really want to commit to a HAED but it was the only chart I liked when I was looking for a Green Man one. I am going to get it kitted up over the next couple of weeks. I am hoping I don't have to buy too much thread. If I do, I will buy as needed.
Seeing it is such an undertaking, I will have small projects on the go as well.
It's a gorgeous chart though. I to caved during the sale.
ReplyDeleteGulp! I really don't see me ever doing one of these tbh - but never say never I guess... Love the design - looking forward to seeing your progress :) Good to see you back - sorry to hear you've been ill :(
ReplyDeleteI'm doing three HAEDs right now. There are some great hints on the forum. One of the ones I consider most importantly is gridding your fabric. It will help you keep your place. Good luck and I look forward to seeing your progress. It is going to be beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI see you've got the bug too! From my experience it is much easier to stitch those HAEDs on 22ct. I started a few of them and just because it was 25ct they ended up in UFO pile. I'm doing Guardian Angel on 22ct with 2 threads over 1 and love it. Mind you, it was Rene who told me the trick a long time ago but I wasn't listen...

ReplyDeleteGood luck with it! I could never see myself doing those huge projects and if I will start to even dream about one, please someone put me under care... :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a huge undertaking, will be watching for updates.

I like your madness! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are brave to tackle a haed. I never have. Lots of green on this piece.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fantastic Cernunnos ! I have also searched for a really god one, but unfortunately I cannot now see clearly enough to stitch the HAEDs :( .. how great to be in a drumming group ... unfortunately I have had to post as anonymous becuase blogger won't let me otherwise for some reason ...
