Welcome!
Hi, how do you know what to make a half stitch vs cross stitch? Also does the design come with any sort of outlining that we need to complete?
I posted a qt under new topic, could you check it out
Your project looks AWESOME! can't wait to see the finished result
Hello! I just joined and am looking forward to the info and other features here. I have been cross stitching for years but never tried to make my own patter, so I am excited to try that!

Thanks for the response Melanie 
.
. I know what you mean, my 14ct cloth was Zweigart and it
felt really nice.
I was hoping to avoid
having to buy a new cloth, as I am both so excited to get started
and also it is such a hassle to shop during lockdown. I thought it
would likely be a few days before it would either be delivered or I
could go to pick it up.
But if it is the
best solution... It's such a big piece I want it to look as good a
possible.
Black background sounds pretty, but my
eyesight is actually already a bit.. well... crap. I really like
the idea of pale blue though. I will have to pick it up for a
future project once lockdown is lifted and I can shop like
normal.
I found a solution though. Some
googling told me that the one obvious answer might be to just go
for Aida 16 then. Smaller picture, but that I don't mind much. And
2 threads means I can still use the loop method for starting a
thread, which will come in handy in those spots the colours change
a lot.
In most guides I
found:
Aida 14 - 2-3 threads
Aida 14 - 2-3 threads
Aida
16 - 2 threads
Aida 18 - 1-2
threads.
Based on this 16 seems like a safe
bet.
I phoned through half of Tallinn (capital of Estonia) to
try to find a place that would have Aida 16 bigger than precut
15inch / 39cm ones. There was a wholesaler, but they sold
minimum 5m (15ft) at a time. They had one that was almost 4m (12ft)
that they could have sold me but thats still... so much fabric and
I have already spent a fair bit on this project. After I was ready
to give up, I phoned the wholesaler one more time and asked that if
they already have this cut up piece.. maybe they could cut one more
piece off of it and sell me 1m (3ft). And the lady said that "You
know... why not. If you are willing to drive over then yes, I will
get you that piece". So off I went, bought a big chocolate as an
additional thank you and I got my cloth! Wholesale price and
everything.
So this is now me, at the
beginning of my project.
