Default Question about count

I have a question about Aida cloth. I bought a small kit to do while I acted as
an election judge back in March. It was on 10 count Aida. It had an I Love the
USA theme. I loved it; it was easy on my eyes and very easy to do. Now this
question has come up. When I went back to a project on 14 count. I hated it. I
couldn't seem to see the holes in the fabric or the places to stitch. I will
admit my 52-year-old eyes are getting bad. And yes I've been to the eye doctor
and she has given me bi-focals. I hate them but they help although not enough
to help with stitching. My question is this. If I stitch on 10 count Aida is
everyone going to think I'm crazy? I can always switch the fabric in a kit over
to 10 count and use 3 strands instead of 2. What other modifications will I
have to make?
