DMC Magic Count Evenweave 25 count (KatzXstitch)

Stitched on 36" rods for Millennium Frame and floor Stand (Needle Needs)

Feel free to ignore this post, but you may be interested in all the methodology for stitching this Bad Ass Project (BAP) which will be my very first HAED full coverage piece.

25 count evenweave - DMC Magic Guide with 10:10 grid (as I'm stitching 1 over 1 my 100 square will only be half of the marked grid).

Number 26 petite needle. 

No thread storage has been organised yet other than kitting up most of the project.  I decided that I would not kit up the whole thing in one go.  I purchased colours required for most of the first page (bought total amount of floss in each colour for the whole design), and then have taken floss colours from the list from stash.  I have then also provided the lovely Lisa at Heathfield Crafts with a list of the other colours, and she will make sure they are in stock.  I will probably put them in Flossaway bags and print off symbols to add to the front of the baggie, and then put them in colour order into a Wham Box.  I do not bobbinate my floss.

No specific needle minder yet, but I have got my needle storage organised:

Stitching in 1 over 1 continental tent stitch (CTS) full cross.  I tried CTS, and hated it.

Stitching on diagonal - I have marked a working copy of the file to make this easier.  Chart format is PDF and therefore I can export to my Kindle for ezpdf reader, but will probably mark up straight from my laptop.

Crosses will be worked bottom right to top left / bottom left to top right in sequence for each row, as per the Elves.

I will be parking.  Threads to be parked bottom right hand corner as per Elves.

I think that is all of the information for now, but will update this if I discover anything else pertinent.

I just need to breath, keep calm and start to stitch ... stitch ... stitchin.
