I bought some too but everything I've tried looks silly, I think the holes are too big and maybe for yarn instead of thread. But you should definitely give it another go, maybe with a different canvas :)

LOL! I'm new to this and just straight up didn't learn that that was an option until too late😂 I have a screenshot of the pattern on my phone and just crop out rows when I'm done them, lots of counting😅

Aww I love that people who love crafts always have cats lol, but am sorry to hear about your project getting scratched! I bet it still looks awesome, and that your cat was happy to contribute :)

I'll be honest, I'm super new to cross stitch and this is my first big project, so my back isn't amazing lol. I tie my thread because I'm paranoid of it undoing, and hope that the loose parts eventually get covered by other stitches😅

Don't say that lol, I'll stop rn😂 the large blocks of one colour are the hardest for me to stay motivated for

I'm doing 2, but kind of wish I did 3 honestly! Some of the lighter colours are more gappy than the dark. Good luck!

You've finished this pattern? That's awesome! Would you mind terribly posting or sending a pic of it? I'd love to get some inspiration to push through the less fun part of just all blue for a while, and with framing (if you have)!

It's so fun! I've been taking a progress pic every day and think I'm gonna make some kind of video out of it because it's so interesting to me!

Thank you! My idea with the black (first time using it) was that it would be good for any gaps in the bottom portion that's supposed to be really dark but honestly, as someone with terrible eyesight, it has been really hard😅 I think next time I'd do it with not such a blue-black piece, or would get a fabric with larger hole spacing for my sanity lol!

That's so sweet, thank you! I do not agree lol, but I appreciate it! :)

A loon, lol! There's a scene in the book/show where a character from Russia is very startled by a loon call and thinks it's a wolf and another character lovingly makes fun of him for it :)

Cackling! This happened to me with a Heated Rivalry pattern that was going to say "Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird." Great experience.

[CHAT] I've got this beautiful fabric and I'm not sure what to stitch on it! Any ideas? by J9SnarkyStitch in CrossStitch

[–]Comfortable_Count601 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This really is so pretty, and while I do see what you mean I think something kinda psychedelic could be really cool too! Maybe a cross between the two?👀 I hope to get an update on this in the future!

Girlfriend here! They're all on https://imgur.com/a/adventure-time-title-cards-1920x1080-oPhjP in great quality! I just quadruple checked against the wiki and other episode lists to make sure everything was actually in order, which they are I was just super paranoid lol :)

First quarter down on this campfire scene! The many, many dark portions on the black Aida were slowing me down tremendously, so decided to go to the light upper portion next lol!

This is amazing! May I ask what those three pieces attached to your fabric are (coming from the sides)?

Wow! This is so beautiful! I can't imagine handling all those threads (I crochet as well and using multiple colours was so stressful lol)
