Few threads on the jester? Hehehehe.. that piece I posted has used approximately 20 colors thus far! Seems like i do 2 stitches and have to change colors. Makes for a very messy back, but its not too bulky so far.

its 18 count aida :)

I dont believe they make 22 or I would have used that. I searched high and low on the net for 22 count black aida but i never found anything higher than an 18 count.

Going for the second eye, that is great. Then he can watch you work the rest of him around his face. That is how I like to work when I can. Stitch the face and then work around from there.

I LOVE this Jester! What a (refreshing) change from baskets of flowers etc. Ok, it's not for everyone I guess, but it's great that there are charts out there to cater for all tastes.

I'm going to enjoy watching your progress.

I agree - its nice to see something different every now and again.

Does scare me, but looks so effective (especially on the black aida)!

Well done :applesauce:
