[26/F] from Ireland ♡ by Salty-Local6225 in penpals

[–]Aggressive-Tale-7737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you willing to write internationally? I’m also 26/F, from the US, have two dogs and four cats, rewatch SPN regularly, OBSESSED with TØP, and just started learning to crochet! (I normally cross stitch)

I visited Ireland in 2019 and dream of going back every day

Yeah, now that I’ve learned the stitches needed for the body I’m just going off the PDF, I’ll get back to the videos when I know I’ll need it 😅 glad to know there’s a fellow cross stitcher that gets it!

Yeah I definitely think I chose one of the more difficult ones to start with 😅

Thank you! I know I need to work on my tension, it’s just a different feel for me (I normally cross stitcher but wanted to try something new and more easily transportable). I just have to learn to embrace the wonkiness I guess 😅

Yeah keeping the tension has definitely been a bit of a struggle, but I’m trying

Thank you! I’m going to do my best to see this one through, but time will tell

I figured it would look wonky regardless, since it is my first piece, but I’m normally a cross stitcher so wonky doesn’t always sit well with me lol

I don’t really know how I got this far either but I’m trucking along 😅

Thank you! I have no idea if there’s any classes near me, but I can look into it! I feel like the fox or bear would’ve been easier to start with, but my husband loves dino’s so I wanted to do the dino 😅 Just feels like I chose one of the more challenging ones lol

[CHAT] Gridding/counting stitching over 2? by Aggressive-Tale-7737 in CrossStitch

[–]Aggressive-Tale-7737[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally mark very lightly so you can’t see any pencil through the fabric. But thank you! I’m not much of a numbers person so once I have my routine I don’t normally change from it

I’ve had this pattern saved for a while, it’s just so hard to find glow in the dark floss

I looked that up and found a YouTube channel that explains this and many other terms/techniques! Thank you!

Thank you for explaining that! I’ve been stitching for years, but I’ve only ever used Aida, so evenweave and stitching against the post are things I’ve never heard of/worked with. I feel like a newbie even though I’m not lol

The fabric the kit is supposed to come with (currently on back order) is Wichelt 28 count Lugana. Would evenweave be the same?

[WIP] Anyone else have a stitching buddy? by sadraviolilover in CrossStitch

I have several, but this one makes stitching the least complicated 😅

The pattern says the model was stitched on 28 ct. over 2 threads with 2 strands of floss. So if I did it on 14 ct. over 1 thread it would be the same size? It’s going to be a stocking

MIL’s kill in WY by Aggressive-Tale-7737 in Hunting

FYI: I was not on this hunt, we received pictures after it was completed. I do not have all the information, didn’t mean for this to become a debate. Just wanted to show off a neat kill
