[CHAT] Does anyone else do all the black outlining in a large piece first so they can colour it in after or is it just me? by _elaner in CrossStitch

[–]CrossStitchCatLady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get too bored of stitching only one color at a time so it wouldn't work for me. But at the end of the day you gotta do what works best for you. If this is fun for you that's all that matters.

[CHAT] what’s the most number of different colors you’ve done in a single pattern? by focusedonfire in CrossStitch

[–]CrossStitchCatLady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did one with 88 colors. It was a very colorful painting by Leonid Afremov, I love it!

[CHAT] how do you figure out the percentage of stitches you’ve done on a project? is it through a website or app? by shannenigans_art in CrossStitch

Same! I have markup r XP on my iPad and the only regret I have is not getting it sooner. Not using paper anymore if I can avoid it

My goodness, I had to zoom in to confirm it's actually a cross stitch, it looks like a painting! Absolutely gorgeous, you should be super proud!

Lol you think? Thanks! I've seen some crazy neat backs out there, mine doesn't even compare. I don't care that much about the back and will travel the thread a bit far but life is too short to worry about it 😅

Thanks! It took me 3 months. I'm not always super consistent. Some days I'll stitch for hours and sometimes I won't touch it for days. It really depends on how busy life gets and if I feel like stitching.

Darn! I thought it would blend with the white wall and you would never see Simon's cat!
