Welcome to ChitChat!

Hello: I am on a mission to complete all of my very old projects from the late 80's-90's. Sorry for the well worn pattern. In the 1st image of the Abundance pattern, it shows that the finished size, on 22 count should be 9 3/4th x 2 5/8th. The total stitches is 213 W and 52H.
I am using 25 count linen. I am adding 3 " border and 2" finishing. When I use the online calculator, is shows that I need 17 " canvas for the finish project and 27 for my allowances.
I am confused as to why, if I am using a higher thread count, why do I need so much canvas? Especially since the pattern says the finished project is 9 3/4th x 2 3/8th. Help! What am I missing. Thank you in advance.

How much floss does the kit have in it? Are they full skeins or is it just enough to do the project? I'm trying to build my colors back up after unfortunate events led to all of mine being lost. I'm not sure if I should get the kit (I know they use DMC!), or the pattern and my own supplies.

All right leaving Australia. Heading to Juneau Alaska.
Who is with me and Blueeyes and the driver? We can do whale watching.
Also can go to Mendenhall Glacier also pan for gold.

Today is Friday ……………………………………………….. Good Mornimg, MJ 💕
