I have been reading some blogs and reading how a majority of stitchers prefer to use evenweave versus aida. About a year after I started stitching I had tried eavenweave but it was an awful experience. As I look back on it I just wasn't ready to progress on to eavenweave. I am the type of person if I have a bad experience with something I usually don't try it again. A decade has passed since and I think that it is time to try it once more.
After deciding to give it another try I had to go shopping to find a new pattern and the evenweave.(at least that is the excuse I gave to M. so I could go shopping) . I went to my craft store and spent nearly an hour looking at all the different patterns. I finally decided on Precious Moments World Harmony. It is a book of patterns for several different countries. I am going to do one of the patterns on Charles Craft Monaco 28 count. The first one I do (and hopefully turns out) I will keep for myself. I have a certain friend in mind for the next eavenweave project.
So, if anyone has any advice for me to avoid a disaster with eavenweave please feel free to let me know.

Start with something small, count slowly and if you aren't sure about your stitch, count again! It isn't that hard... just takes practice. :)
