Okay, I've done a couple of little cross stitches, the small beginners kind of ones in the circle frames. But I want to try get onto bigger projects, for gifts etc, and I was wondering if there's a trick to starting it? Like, you've just got a big piece of white aida, and the chart, so do you start in the middle of the chart, or from the outside? And do you literally have to count all the little squares? Because I want to start a bigger one, in a similar circle frame, and I don't want to get half-way through and its messed up because of the position, and doesn't fit in the frame .. Thanks a lot! Oh, also. With the aida, the little ones I've done are 15 ct, but the larger ones I'm looking at are generally 14 ct .. Does that mean the holes, or squares are smaller or what? Thanks a lot. :)
