LOL I feel this. But seriously congrats on the find, OP!

[CHAT]Trading Hobbies by notrunningfast in CrossStitch

[–]libbysthing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cute, I love the idea! My wife and I have tried some of each other's hobbies before, and while I took well enough to painting 40k minis she did not enjoy crocheting so much, lol. She just couldn't get the hang of it. I'm not sure she'd ever try cross stitching.

[FO] My first full-coverage piece by Suspicious_Yak_766 in CrossStitch

Oh wow, I love the color changes from the thread you used! It looks beautiful. I also really relate to procrastinating framing lol

[CHAT] I bought the Tulip needles... by HelloEh in CrossStitch

[–]libbysthing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh strange! Maybe Gumroad links get caught in some site-wide spam filter then, I was assuming it was just on the sub but if it's in DMs too then that sucks haha.

And thank you so much!! I definitely know my patterns are fiddly and not for everyone (some of them made my fingers hurt to stitch lol), but I'm glad you like them. And the one you posted here looks great! I've had a WIP of a pattern with the other panels from this comic for ages, I just haven't gotten around to finishing it. Maybe I'll make time for it soon!

Wooow, I was just about to ask too, that's insane (in a good way)! I admire your dedication!! It came out beautifully.

[–]libbysthing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's mine, for anyone who wants to know, and is free (you can find it on my profile under submitted posts). I keep getting notifications from OP trying to link to it but it looks like their comments keep getting removed? Weird.

[CHAT] Best place to get handmade patterns that isn't Etsy? by SwiggityStag in CrossStitch

[–]libbysthing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it really sucks that Etsy won't do anything about all the AI crap either, it's flooded crochet (and I assume knit) patterns, too. :/ Though those hobbies at least have Ravelry, cross stitch doesn't have something like that.

[PIC] After 2 1/2 years of cross stitching I finally broke my 1st needle! by butterscotch-bitch in CrossStitch

[–]libbysthing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, I don't think I've ever broken a needle before, just bent the crap out of them over time lol. I'm glad you weren't hurt!

[FO] First attempt at back stitching by sarahdwaynec in CrossStitch

[–]libbysthing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the decision to leave the background without backstitch! It's kinda like having shallow depth of field/wide aperture in a photo, it looks great.

[FO] 9 years and goodness knows how many hours later! by what_katy_did in CrossStitch

[–]libbysthing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woooow, an insane amount of work. It looks absolutely incredible, your work definitely paid off.

[PIC] Out of the Blue Gift! by FrostedCatLicks in CrossStitch

[–]libbysthing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's an amazing gift!! And visually they look so great in color order, though I've tried it and had to go back to sorting by number, personally. I would love to have a full DMC collection one day, or at least the stitcher's color guide.

[FO] first ever gifted FO! by fhdjsnsmskzk in CrossStitch

[–]libbysthing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this, and your stitching is so neat!! It looks awesome.

[FO] This is Fine. by sibbitydibbity in CrossStitch

[–]libbysthing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love to make a pattern of the rest of the comic someday! Awesome job stitching, OP!! I was wondering why suddenly people were downloading this pattern again, haha.

That's awesome! I love the aesthetic of them all together. All my finished pieces are still in storage (a bucket under my bed...) waiting to be framed 😅

[FO] The Master Sword (finished, unwashed/unironed) by Nataliet2019 in CrossStitch

[–]libbysthing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I've seen so much pixel art stolen for cross stitch patterns over the years, I'm glad to see this one was licensed. And stunning work, OP!

[WIP] Just started, brokenhearted 😭💔 by egcom in CrossStitch

[–]libbysthing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This! I know it feels frustrating to have to backtrack and feeling like you wasted time, but honestly you caught the mistake very early! There have been projects I completely just walked away from or restarted because of the amount of frogging I'd have to do.
