If you want to do it on Aida - buy 14 count, and it will be exactly the same size x

I know a lot of you buy world of cross stitching, could I ask a question? Since I have been buying them they have done a monthly flower. Now I am sure I have the rose and maybe the one before but could someone tell me which ones have been published since January. I am after the rose, bluebell and forget-me-not, I just wondered if they have been printed already?

Many thanks :j

The 2 over 2 is an instruction for even weave.

Basically, 28 count is the number of threads per inch, so you stitch over 2 threads, making it 14 stitches per inch.

The equivalent aida is 14 count, and you stitch one stitch per square. Does that make sense?

Observer

Awesometwo - I think the 2 over 2 is how many threads to do it over on the evenweave.

PAP - I have got this months copy (178 presumably July) which has Larkspur (Delphinium) as the flower. It says next month is Gladiolus, don't know about previous ones.

Thought i'd give a weekly update :
