    Someone asked earlier, this is the chart I'm stitching but I'm using all the wrong colours!

    That's really nice. As others said, no-one will know you used different colours if you don't tell them :D
    I have a piece I stitched and completely changed some of the stated colours as they were too drab and dark for my liking.

  • Afternoon all, just poped on to asks quick question I'm looking at a pattern for xstitch friendship braclet, it says to use

    Zweigart 32 count linen,

    What count aida do you think I should use? I do have some 20 count evenweave? Any good? It doesn't give an alternative!

    Thanks in advance

  • 32 count linen/evenweave is over 2 threads, so it would be 16ct aida :)
  • Received my Jane Greenoff Cross Stitch Designer today and having a play around with it.

    I'm really chuffed with it, especially as I didn't think it would work as we have Vista and it doesn't mention that on the back of the case!

    Just need to figure out what I'm doing then I'll be happy as larry!

    Love this site - the Pixel People look like Lego figures (which they obviously can't say)
