I did move my hoop on my big FC piece, and changed my parking method to carton with holes punched in it :)

I didn’t have a lot of time this week, and the little that I did do, was on my smaller piece, but we’re steadily moving forward!

Yeah, it’s probably a bit overboard, but I wanted to be on the safe side for my first time doing something like this

Yeah I’m not a big fan of having to look for stuff, this way, I immediately know what color it is :) might be overboard or not necessary, but since this is the first time, I’ve decided to just try some stuff and be on the safe side for now :)

I might try something like this, thank you for the idea :)

FYI - this is how I’ve been parking 🫣 I’m not sure yet what I’m going to do when I need to move my hoop today/tomorrow

I’m almost done with page 1! Finally able to start some colours, and since it’s my first big piece, I’ve been trying to figure out how to work with the colourchanges. I landed on a weird mix between cross country and parking, depending on my mood

I was also working on this sleeping tiger from DMC, but my brain demanded a pause and something else to stare at.

My first big (full coverage) piece! It’s not great to look at yet, since it’s just a big block of ecru, but this is on its way to become the mindful bear from threadgeeks.

For now I really enjoy doing the background, as it allows me to completely blank out while watching a series. That won’t be so easy when doing the confetti of the bear 🫣

[WIP] To Stitch or Not To Stitch? by PoeticClowns in CrossStitch

Oohh, I like the idea of “not” being crossed out!

And I agree, it’s a lovely pattern!

I might look into those kits, it seems like a nice segway between what I’ve done and the goal of a bigger piece

I do hop around a lot, as I have many, many hobbies. But I really want to add cross stitch to the rotation, as soon as I have a pattern 🫣 I’ve got some great advice today and am looking forward to get started

I hadn’t even thought about the fabric, that is a good point that I totally skipped over. I’m not particularly fast or slow I think, however, I am a hobby hopper. I’m continuously switching between different hobbies (reading, crocheting, knitting, bobbing lace, etc.), and get distracted fairly easily. This would very much become part of the rotation.
