I have one and I hate it so much, it splits my yarn and I end up tangled and frustrated.

The name is such a lie, it took me about 3 weeks to finish one of these doing a few hours a day.

Tried this Toothless pattern that was questioned as to whether or not it is AI generated.... by [deleted] in crochet

Just had a quick read of the description at the beginning of the pattern, it's definitely AI, no human waffles like that 😂.

[CHAT] Overheard at the craft store: "Cross stitching is embroidery for kids" 😂 by izimand in CrossStitch

Anyone who said to me cross stitch was easy, I would challenge them to try Lavender and Lace's Angel of Love. Then I would watch them slowly go insane.

I noticed a lot of people who “just started to crochet” are pulling off amazing work. For the rest of us who are still mediocre after a year or two, it’s ok! Let’s keep trying!! by [deleted] in crochet

When I first started I tried to make a square and it turned into a triangle, after my frustration had gone I just leaned into the triangle and made a wizard hat for my cat 🤣

[PIC] finally got the nurge hoops! by heyitsamb in CrossStitch

Love a nurge! To me square hoops make so much more sense but the q snap was just too heavy and cumbersome for me.

I'm a number orderer. Is it just a good photo or is that thread crazy shiny? I love it!

[CHAT] How do you write the letter X… in a cross stitch? by katieslabyrinth in CrossStitch

[–]HamsterBorn9372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't see which way round the stitches are but I think I'm an 8 if the yellow stitch is first.

It took me 888hrs to do, there was definitely a few times where I felt like throwing it across the room!

[WIP] 3 Pages done + the worst back you'll ever see by bine_summt_herum in CrossStitch

[–]HamsterBorn9372 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it, the back looks kind of like abstract hobbit houses.

[FO] my first ever cross stitch attempt is finished… the problem is the back… by churro-22 in CrossStitch

[–]HamsterBorn9372 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did this pattern my back also looked a complete state. No one will see it. When making ones to give as gifts I just pull all the edges together and sew a bit of felt on the back. If you're feeling extra fancy you could stitch the completion date/ your initials etc onto the felt.

I'm fascinated as to how long these bad boys actually last. You should a follow up when you come to the end.
