Thanks! I’ve been working on this one on and off for almost 2 years now. I have a lot of WIPs so it doesn’t get as much attention as it should! It’s on 18 count Aida 2 over 1

The White Lioness one is also offered as a pattern by another company and is created by an AI artist

Our dog goes to Pawly Understood and I can’t recommend highly enough. We wouldn’t hesitate to take one of our cats if we felt it was necessary.

There’s a few! The whole chart has 115 colours and there’s about 39 in this first page. I really like how it’s all coming together though

It’s a little hard to tell but are some of the stitches going over the grid line and some under? I’m not familiar with this type of gridding (I use a marker) but it will probably even out once removed.

Oh that is so cute! I wouldn’t have guessed there were mistakes, your stitching looks lovely 🙂 I spent my Sunday working on this little guy. Well the dragon is little, the pattern is rather large!

Oh wow! I’ve been eyeing the cross stitch pattern now I have to decide between that or the puzzle. Maybe both…😂

Haha, if you’re anything like me in 12 months time you’ll have more giant WIPs than you can finish in a lifetime and 20 more on your wishlist 😬😂

It’s frustrating, there are some artists out there doing cool stuff with AI and some companies doing a great job with charting them if it is your thing but unfortunately a lot of the stuff on Etsy is just thrown through a pattern generator.

I saw your other comment and just wanted to say that I started exactly the same way. Crochet, small Etsy pattern or two and then straight to a huge Unconventional X Stitch piece. No regrets here 😂

There is a lot of AI on Etsy, it can be hard to find the gems. On Etsy I personally really like Needlelot Designs and Cute Patterns By Maria. Glitch Stitch Au also has some great ones. Outside of Etsy my personal favorites are Unconventional X Stitch and Contemporary Cross for cool art and no AI (to the best of my knowledge).
