This is the Aida and floss provided for my next commission. It's size will be 12"x14" finished, and I do not plan on taking commissions this large without the commissioner knowing it will take a very long time. As you can see, there is a lot of thread to put into the cloth. I have worked on this off and on for about a little over a year, and I will post the current progress next after a picture of the pattern and it's details. It will eventually be a ship at sea. I still do not know how much I will end up charging for it. It is for a close friend, so if someone commissions me for a similarly sized piece, it would be more than this will be.

I'm honestly not sure. The fabric is a 16 count Aida, but if you look at my next post, you can see that maybe a third of the " 12"x14" " space is actually just empty canvas acting as the sky. I could not be any more rough in my estimation of a third, but the total space of the pattern, blanks included, is 192 stitches by 214. Granted at the top of the pattern only one of the 192 spaces is used (seven times). In short, no I don't know the stitch count.
That's fair; I know some commercial patterns will include that information and I believe PCStitch also includes it when generating patterns so I figured it was worth asking. Good luck; that's even bigger than the portrait I stitched for my grandmother (and that one was a beast)!
I did this portrait some years ago. If you do decide to do portraits, I can recommend PCStitch as a pretty user-friendly program. Ideally, you'll want to do some manual tweaking of its output (I should have done more of that), but even the generated pattern, which I only did very minimal tweaking with (it wanted a single stitch of one color, which I changed to a near color because that was just silly) I find it's a very workable pattern that produces a nice result.
