Thank you to all you lovely people who responded to my question about whether or not to get the Lugana fabric for
"Dragons By The Fire". The majority of you said some variation on Yes Definitely, and I decided to listen. :-)

I found an online store which called it a "discontinued color" and had a 1/2 yard piece for $20.00. So I ordered that (enough for two projects this size!), the two spools of Kreinik braid that I couldn't find elsewhere, and a bottle of Thread Heaven to tame the Kreinik. Thanks for that suggestion too, I saw it in someone else's post!

Nothing more I can do till the fabric arrives. My one big fear at this point is that my eyes will give out before I can finish. Last time I did cross-stitch I didn't yet wear bifocals... ;-)

I don't wear bifocals yet, but I do find it very helpful when working over linen and the like to use one of those over-the-neck magnifiers. I'm currently working on 32-count linen, and stitching over only a single thread. Without the magnifier, I have a hard time even making sure I completed a stitch!

There's an image of one of those magnifiers on this page:
