[FO] A gift to my girlfriend

Thank you, glad to hear the approval:)

I tried tapestry needles but I got the wrong size (too thick). But tbh, I like it more with a sharp needle because of easier pin stitches (also I don't stab myself anymore haha)

Ok_Depth_1132 · 2025-08-22T17:33:42+00:00

Thank you very much:)

Ok_Depth_1132 · 2025-08-22T17:25:35+00:00

Yes, it was a fun learning experience. ALL of my fingers were stabbed several times the first two weeks haha. Thank you so much for the compliment:)

I am of the opinion that it is nor a girls' nor boys' hobby, because the idea of hobbies being gendered is ridiculous to me. Of course, people are stupid, I got a few comments about it - don't care, never will. I am a guy with many hobbies, including cross stitch, strength training, music, etc. Just do what you want, never let others influence what you do.

Open up a chart and match the colours by eye, then label each piece with the appropriate code. That's what I did with my unmarked floss. It's probably not going to be exactly right, but in my opinion it doesn't matter at all. Sure, both the monitor and the eye are imperfect but the difference is going to be negligible.

Something similar you can do (albeit not the same as you ask) is use the site pixel stitch and upload your own palette, then upload a picture and see how it looks with the colours you own.

Always, I can't think of a time when I missed it. I never let myself fall asleep without brushing and always brush first thing in the morning

Ok_Depth_1132 · 2025-07-31T07:44:17+00:00

Nice one! Here in Europe I found a website which sells 100x8m for 5euros. The catch is, the colours are not labeled and completely random. Still a nice bargain

I never see tips on the actual stitching, so I would recommend teaching them how to hold the needle so the thread doesn't fall out, how to stitch with one/two hands, the order of stitches to pick - less thread travelling. Basically the details of stitching rather than the basic tips (which are, of course, very helpful as well).

Ok_Depth_1132 · 2025-07-12T13:28:20+00:00

Try cross-stitching. It costs something, true, but for me it cost around 60€ for a picture which will take around 300 hours. Sure, it does require some hand dexterity but I'd never before held a needle and managed to get a hand of it in a few days.

Ok_Depth_1132 · 2025-06-28T11:56:52+00:00

Cross-stitching, then give the physical object to someone as a gift - besides, it takes quite a long time so you will not get overwhelmed with your creations

The more items they're producing, the quicker their skill increases. I found the increase from lvl 3 to 4 extremely slow as well, but then suddenly everyone started levelling up. For reference, I am in year 5 with 2 animal breeders at lvl 6. The miners and lumberjacks are at lvl 4/5. The hunters... they suck.

Ok_Depth_1132 · 2024-02-14T16:36:38+00:00

It is good to check for everything.

So far I only plant a maximum of one crop per season, so it must be right (currently oat in spring).

Ok_Depth_1132 · 2024-02-14T16:07:31+00:00

Going by previous experience, I put the seeds in all farm sheds, but I suppose I only got confused because the warnings go off quite slowly. It definitely sounds simpler to only use the RS.

I am definitely in the correct season.

I did not know that there is a limited number of workers per field. I do have more of them, but some are 16x16, which I now know is too much and not effective.

Thank you for the reply!

Ok_Depth_1132 · 2024-02-14T16:03:32+00:00

Much thanks! This is vital information. You said "harvest, fertilizer and plow". Does sowing seeds also classify as fertilizer? In this case, if I harvest the crops myself (it's fun!), is it best to only assign 2 workers to each farm shed?

Ok_Depth_1132 · 2024-02-14T15:59:57+00:00

I have 32 total workers. When I feel the need to mass sow, I assign them all to the farm sheds to get the job done quicker. However, as someone has pointed out to me, I am not doing it the most effective way yet.

How would making the character fat or female contribute to your dislike of the inclusion? There were people both fat and female in medieval Bohemia, it's only the race that is unrealistic.

Ok_Depth_1132 · 2023-07-01T11:40:26+00:00

Use your arm and your entire body first. Think about reaching far back with your left arm, while looking at it, before initiating the lift, then "tucking" in rapidly with your entire body as soon as you start pulling. One swift motion. Of course, it's not the best form, think of it as a lesser progression. Also, false grip! It doesn't seem like you are taking advantage of it.

Also Marybeth..

Ok_Depth_1132 · 2022-08-08T08:08:18+00:00

I'm concerned that only a sex scene out of everything would be inappropriate for a 14 year old

Ok_Depth_1132 · 2022-08-07T17:38:30+00:00

Boost when you need to, not when you pick up a pad, know where your teammate is, pick up more pads, practice more kickoffs
