. Not quite sure about 28ct Jobelan, I'm afraid the cross stitch would probably turn out to be too small on that size.

After some thinking I've decided to order 2 yellow colored hand dyed fabrics for Jo Lynch's charts, especially the Frog. I wanted at first to stitch it on white, but changed my mind. So, I'll have to wait for the fabric to arrive. I chose the following colors lemon Jobelan 28ct and primrose Lugana 25ct . Not quite sure about 28ct Jobelan, I'm afraid the cross stitch would probably turn out to be too small on that size.

Congrats on starting a blog and I must say you have a really impressive WIP list :) These are my 2 favourite cross stitch stores too :) I really like the Lugana color, the frog will look amazing on it.
Thank you, Basia. I had been debating ordering those, but in the end decided to order and wait for the fabrics. Because you how it is, if you start something that you not quite sure in, after sometime there will be a nagging question "Wouldn't the cross stitch have been looking better on the hand dyed. So I decided to wait, and in the meantime I can finish current part of rotation.
Could you please tell me how do you rotate with so many HAEDs? Do you have a set order each round and do you rotate by hours, days or otherwise?
Well, I always stitch by 10 rows, starting at the top right corner and then moving left and down. So when I'm doing a rotation, I always finish those 10 rows. Except that I don't have any special rotation rules. I stitch on each peice until I got tired of it and then pick the next piece, which screams most at me at the time. I pick basing on what colour I want to do now. usually it is something very different from the curret piece. Say, if I'm stitching a more yellow chart, next one will probably be pink or green. It is always a color thing for me, never the picture itself.
