I must Be Mad!

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.

  3. I'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.

  4. I 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...
