But of course, it does matter. Smaller projects are easier to hold, usually (but not always) easier to stitch, need fewer colours (most of the time) and are portable. Larger designs on the other hand tend to be a little more complicated, need more colours, and are not so portable.

If you are someone who gets a lot of motivation from finishing a project then smaller designs are probably for you. If you know you will become less motivated the fewer projects you finish then stitching a large design will not help you stitch more.

Also, if you have a busier lifestyle you might prefer smaller projects. You can take them with you if you are out of the house a lot, playing taxi for the kids, stitching on your lunch hour, stitching them on your commute, etc.

Of course, to do that, you need to have a lot of time. If you spend a lot of time at home, have space to keep it out somewhere, time to stitch every day then a large project would probably work well for you.

You also have to make sure you are OK with not finishing a design for a long time. This is the downside to large projects. You are so excited to start them but you can become a little frustrated because you want that thing up on display.

However, this is also one of the benefits of large designs. You almost always do something with them once finished. You have spent so long stitching it I doubt many people would put it in a box once done.

I used to only ever stitch small designs and design small patterns. I said I would never stitch a large project. Well, this is why you should never say never. Most of my projects over the past few years have been larger ones, with some small ones still thrown in. I enjoy stitching both for the reasons above.

Already as a child I had a deep love for colors and textures, and textile arts as well as painting were an important part of my life since then. Educated in crafts and needlework in school as well as at home, it was very natural to me that I took up embroidery and stitching during schooltime, university, and later after being at home with my (then) little baby in 1989.

I took up stitching again then, but I changed ready bought patterns so they accomodated my own taste of color and shape and soon friends and family proposed that I make my own :)) The first designs were made with crayons on math graph paper and from there I went on. From these first designs, I self-published and worked additionally freelance for some German craft magazines and stitching companies for a few years.

One of Elizabeth Zimmermann's dreams was to publish a book of her Garter stitch designs, and what a book it is! As we looked through Elizabeth's Garter stitch designs in preparing the book, we found a wealth of material, much of it little known or unpublished. Further, we were intrigued and excited by the unique construction of these new designs (from the mind that created the classic Baby Surprise Jacket). You will find sweaters, coats, jackets, and vests for adults and kids; multiple baby garments; plus a wonderful array of small projects including sideways gloves and socks, innovative mittens, several brimmed hats, an ingenious pattern for knitted clogs and more.
