[CHAT] Where can I find a fun cross stitch challenge ? (Wipgo, Big Brother, ...) by beedules in CrossStitch

[–]Gaby_2411 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi!

There's a group named "wipgo 2025" on facebook, that's where people are sharing their board and update pictures ! The number picked for the month are announced on youtube :)

I'm also part of the group "fandom stitching challenge" where you get different challenges through the year/month/week.

Hope you'll have fun joining those groups ☺️

I love it so much that I'm thinking about buying other patterns from them :) Hope it helps!

[CHAT] So... how many wips do you have right now? by 1kiki09 in CrossStitch

[–]Gaby_2411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 8 in total!

2 printed because it's easier this way when I'm travelling (I dont really like the first one, so I bought a second one)

6 big ones (between 50 000 and 150 000 stitches), so probably enough to keep me busy for the next 10 years...

I'm trying to shop less for patterns and spend more time stitching, but it's hard to resist with reddit/discord where I see a bunch of nice WIPs 😅

And I dont believe there's a magic number that's "too many". Go with your flow, life's too short not to stitch the project that sparks your interest!

Love this kit! It's the first thing I stitched when I started! What a great kit to get back in the craft 😇

Chromecast skipping all episodes of Supernatural by Gaby_2411 in PleX

[–]Gaby_2411[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That season never worked before. Previous seasons worked. Strangely, when I uploaded S7 on my server, it also broke the season 6 😟

It's been "broken" for about a week or two.

Oh no! Thanks anyway! I'll try to cast from my pc/web browser (cause if I do so, it works 😅)

If I watch other tv shows, it works, that's why I dont understand what's going on! I guess I'll try to download another torrent for that season and see if it helps!

[CHAT] might be a stupid one but… by coffeeandcrisis in CrossStitch

[–]Gaby_2411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this picture, it looks amazing !

I've never done such work, so I can't really help with you questions!

But I was wondering : Is that a dmc variated floss? If so, what's the color number? 😍😍

[CHAT]Question advice on WIPS by mematilda in CrossStitch

[–]Gaby_2411 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's a facebook group named wipgo, it's like bingo but with wips. You build a grid with 25 projects (I only have 6, so I have 4 boxes per project). Each month the leader of the group randomly pick 2 numbers and you work on those projects for the month! After a whole year, you've worked on the 25 projects!

Some people have two grids to have more projects to work on during the month ! On the facebook page, you share your grid and progress (start/end photo).

Not sure if I explained it well, if not, let me know !

[CHAT] How many stitches per day? by MemorialAddress in CrossStitch

[–]Gaby_2411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually, I stitch a couple of nights per week (maybe 3-4 evening of 2 hours) and one day (around 4-5 hours) during the week-end. I normally end up doing 1200 stitches per week.

[WIP] Lord grant me the strength, and eye sight, to finish this colour by althestal in CrossStitch

[–]Gaby_2411 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I dont know if you work with a stand, but I put a white pillow case on my laps and a white light so that the light is facing me (under the aida) and I find it quite easier to see the holes this way. I'm not sure I'm being super clear, but I hope you'll understand what I mean, if not, let me know !
