I've been stitching on A Long Winter's Nap for what seems like ages now. I'm resisting the temptation to swap to something else for a change of stitch count, and I dart around the pattern for variety instead.

Heaven and Earth designs can be stitched on 14 count, they just turn out a lot larger and of course you'd need more strands for good coverage - and a big wall that you can step well back from. Many stitchers do them on 18 count so that they are not too large but a bit easier to see. I use a lit up magnifier, the sort you look through, to stitch with one strand on 28 count normally but the above example is 2 strands on 22 count. If you haven't already joined, the Heaven and Earth Designs message board has an absolute wealth of information and lots of examples.
By the way, I posted a picture of the pattern, spread out - http://www.morecambesands.com/morecambe/2010/04/a-long-winters-nap-1.html

Hi I am thinking of buying this cross stitch but like comments on how hard it is - I wouldn't be able to stitch on count 25 so could it be done say on 14 count?
Love to hear from anyone.
