I love it. It is so rewarding. I do all crafts but this is my favorite. My boyfriend can't help but smile at my dorky attributes as he says. LOL.<br /><br />That;s really cool you are going to Iceland. Sounds super exciting. I live in Miami so that would be a big change for someone like me.<br /><br />I'll be following your stitching progress.<br /><br />Jen :)Jennifer M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07321236895970913325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57623424114881312.post-20555337703566480162011-07-17T00:42:40.701-07:002011-07-17T00:42:40.701-07:00I have charts in regular format, but enlarge the p...I have charts in regular format, but enlarge the parts I am stitching by using the Adobe Reader option 'take a snapshot' of the part I want.

I guess there is no "norm" in that sense. <br /><br />I think most people don't know how truly wonderful stitching is, which is why they tease us. They are truly missing out!Ewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15070828270428381936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57623424114881312.post-12392504577078571352011-07-12T13:48:51.859-07:002011-07-12T13:48:51.859-07:00Lol, I just felt the same.

They are wonderful pieces, I wouldn't know which to work on. I too prefer larger printed diagrams! I also work with a magnifying glass (more so in the evenings) so I can stitch longer without stressing my eyes.Heather M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12451769764804347361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57623424114881312.post-58422066794858303322011-07-07T18:05:39.014-07:002011-07-07T18:05:39.014-07:00I use to buy all my charts on regular format. But ...I use to buy all my charts on regular format. But when HAED had the massive 50% sale I bought my last 5 BAP's in large format. Only to avoid excessive eyestrain. Progress is progress and it's all individual. What's slow for you may be fast for someone else and vice versa - just do it in anyway and for any length of time that makes YOU Happy! As for what others think - forget it - be proud of who you are and what you do!<br /><br />P.S. Your Icelandic adventure sounds awesome.

I am only 20 :) <br />Look at it like this: we have plenty of time to finish our projects ;)<br /><br />I can understand that you needed a change from 939-confetti, Your Spangler-start looks amazing :) <br /><br />It's hot here, too.

For many years I stitched "in the closet" beause I was afraid of what my friends would think, but now I don't mind at all what others think I enjoy stitching and I love to see the projects grow and see them complete (that's why I love to read your blog and other stitchers blog) and if people don't understand then they are the ones loosing. Don't worry you're not a slow stitcher I to have the regular charts from HAED and I take ages to complete a page... the important is that you enjoy your stitching at your own pace and when you get tired of one, jumping to another. :) Happy Stithes and I hope you enjoy your holidays in Ieland. and if you want feel free to send some heat and good weather to Ireland, I wouldn't mind that at all ;)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12962390003863097269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57623424114881312.post-69701030362504875812011-07-06T02:53:19.954-07:002011-07-06T02:53:19.954-07:00I am the same age and I started crafting when I wa...I am the same age and I started crafting when I was really young, and was really enthusiastic about it, but soon got nicknames like "nanna" - even from my own relatives! So all the craft things were stuffed in cupboards for years, until I accidentally found some craft blogs...now craft (cross stitch at the moment) is an addiction - I have to do something every day, and I am no longer embarrased, or care what other people think about my hobby!<br />ElizabethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57623424114881312.post-23518061514269252592011-07-06T01:32:41.083-07:002011-07-06T01:32:41.083-07:00I feel the same too, that's maybe the reason w...I feel the same too, that's maybe the reason why I always start at the bottom right (where all the partial pages are) ;)<br />Your trip sounds so promising!anojaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00517747851053042663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57623424114881312.post-41506650792852507212011-07-06T01:17:56.929-07:002011-07-06T01:17:56.929-07:00Hi Ewa!
