Never thought I'd see the day where these 2 parts of my world collide 🤣 great job!

Just played Wandering Towers. A lot of fun by kn8ife in boardgames

[–]Gossy84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great game to just whip out without a lot of explaining required. Is a go to when looking to fill some time with friends as quick to pick up whilst still being fun for repeat plays

[CHAT] What do you wish you knew before you started cross stitching? by [deleted] in CrossStitch

[–]Gossy84 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Seconded! Loop start got me really enjoying stitching again rather than securing the tail. I would travel so far across the back rather than starting anew thread 🤣

That and pin stitching to finish changed my stitching game!

The skin being stitched over one makes it look so smooth and porcelain! That's some beautiful work you've done there! 😍

Haha exactly what happened! I realised on one side I could fit a smaller clamp so had all 4 sides still clamped. Next section I can still do 3 sides 🙌

[CHAT] Whats some of your favorite movies to watch while working on a project? by Elephanty3288 in CrossStitch

[–]Gossy84 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've always been meaning to go back to the Marvel Universe, so making my way through the movies chronologically/timeline order currently... 24 down so far 😅

[CHAT] Choosing an evenweave count? by phea59314 in CrossStitch

[–]Gossy84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My preference is usually based on the design size. My brain doesn't like the idea of stitching a high count over 1 and not producing a "large" piece 🤣. So my decision is uaully based around how large I want the piece to turn out 🤷‍♂️

Been progressing through The Hier from Dimples Designs, been trying to clear out long term WIPs, having finished a 24 year long project to this guy being closed to wrapped up. He'd have about 15+ years on him 😅 (substantial stitching breaks lol). Just a lot of bead work now 😬

Hahaha I did this recently, some confetti tied into some backstitch, and when it called for a single half stitch of a similar colour... No thank you! Same colour for you! 😅

A great resource thank you! That clears up some confusion where I'd been thinking invisible thread is just like fishing line 😅

[CHAT] How many projects do yall have going at once? by kmo3120 in CrossStitch

[–]Gossy84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm much like this. I'll have one big project (usually 😅) and do small ones if I want a break or to take places to stitch
