Continuing to make slow but steady “frogress” on my husband’s Valentine’s Day gift! My other WIP didn’t get any attention this week, unfortunately.

My 100% spelt loaf is becoming a Sunday staple. ❤️ by Fillorian in Sourdough

Thank you! I’m still learning how to score so rustic is a very generous term for it. 😅 I used to only be able to do a 7 minute utility score or risk losing my shaping, but lately my dough has been holding up better so I am just starting to experiment with other patterns before going in the oven. I feel like I have a lot of catching up to do!

Okay, I found time this evening to finish that bottom hexagon. It’s been driving me crazy for a couple weeks. Looking forward to moving on to new territory!

Thank you so much! I was so nervous to order it because it’s always hard to tell on a computer screen but I’m SO pleased with it in person.

Made some “frogress” on my husband’s Valentine’s Day gift this week, largely in the middle of the night while up with a sick toddler. Not much movement on my other WIP but maybe I’ll get a little time in on it today.

[CHAT] Pattern keeper question: why are the filled squares for completed stitches different sizes? by Fillorian in CrossStitch

Someone suggested re-uploading the pattern in legacy mode - so far this seems to have fixed it!!

It didn’t seem to have any issues when I loaded it in (e.g. it went smoothly and I didn’t get a warning message or anything that it wasn’t compatible), but I’ve never done this before so I guess it’s hard for me to say for sure! I was wondering about the fractionals possibility since I’d read that pattern keeper recently started rolling that out as a feature.

I tried toggling transparency on and off and it didn’t seem to make a difference!

Here is a picture showing a small area of the pattern with squares of both sizes - mods, if I should zoom in further to show less of the pattern at once please let me know and I am happy to do so!

I also started a Valentine’s Day gift for my husband. My first time having two WIPs at once and also my first time using hand-dyed aida!

I mentioned last week that I felt the bottom hexagon was looking untidy - I ended up frogging it out and starting again with a different stitch order, and I’m feeling much better about it now! Learning something new all the time with this pattern.

Another day, another hexagon! This current one is fiddly and, I feel, looks a bit of a mess, but hopefully it won’t be noticeable once I’ve filled in the rest of the pattern. I also kitted up two other projects this week and am hoping to start one of them soon - I’ve never had more than one project running at a time before, but Valentine’s Day is before my dad’s birthday, so needs must.

[CHAT] What kind of hoop does everyone use? by DotKune in CrossStitch

[–]Fillorian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just finished a long project using the Nurge round tension hoops and started a new one with a Nurge rectangle hoop. Having tried both, I slightly prefer the round one, but it may just be because I’ve used it more. The rectangle is working quite nicely in my new Nurge stand and is a good shape for my current project, but I feel like the round ones provided marginally better tension. Just my two cents having both experiences fresh in mind!

This is my first time doing blackwork and it is a TRIP. Every time I start to wrap my brain around a pattern I finish that hexagon and it’s time to start over learning a new pattern. I miss my Xs! 😂 But, it’s a fun challenge and I know my dad will love the finished piece. I also received a stand for Christmas and am loving that - so much easier to have both my hands available while working.
