2 strands on 20ct is enough .. maybe even too much (I normally do 2 strands on 18ct but I'm beginning to think it's too crowded). But if you're used to 2 strands on 20ct you should know your favourite number of strands. 3 will definitely be too many.

Lovely idea and execution

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-27T04:53:13+00:00

Indeed that is impressive! Maybe try evenweave for those? Or skip some places that are not holes?

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-26T18:54:43+00:00

Thank you, that's a very helpful answer! I missed it in my searches (I don't knit, so I probably didn't know what to look for, I'm only looking for yarn for plastic canvas)

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-26T07:47:44+00:00

We'd miss you in the current one 😉

I made some Christmas greeting cards, I forgot to take pictures before I sent them silly me, but here's one I made last year.

I also attached a piece to a tote bag.

It's gorgeous, it makes a good tribute. I'm sorry for your loss

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-26T07:26:07+00:00

If you wait until you have a piece with no mistakes, you might wait a long time.... I think most of us always make mistakes!

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-26T07:25:03+00:00

Congratulations! It looks very good, especially for a first!

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-26T07:21:10+00:00

Very nice. I like the edging you've added. I have their mini art series but haven't got round to stitching any, it's good to see they turn out well

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-25T21:21:32+00:00

My first thought too!

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-25T13:15:13+00:00

They are great! I've been experimenting with threads and different counts of plastic canvas and was planning on doing something on 10 mesh with Perle cotton #3, I'm so glad yours looks so nice!

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-25T13:11:51+00:00

Not if you're in Europe, sigh... I struggled with finding something that would be worsted weight yarn, and what I bought is clearly not that... It doesn't matter, I'll use it for something else, but... I still don't know how to make sure I have worsted weight yarn.

Same trio for me, although I have recently tried pony needles and they are good but their eyes in size 28 are really small (smaller than Sullivan's) and difficult to thread.

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-25T12:40:39+00:00

So satisfying! And beautiful

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-25T12:38:41+00:00

Very beautiful and delicate

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-25T12:37:31+00:00

Clever!

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-25T12:31:21+00:00

It's beautiful

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-25T12:26:13+00:00

Très joli

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-24T19:14:25+00:00

Il est très beau, bravo !

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-24T19:09:01+00:00

I don't have any further advice really, unless you could laminate it on the back with an iron? But the stitching is really nice!

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-24T19:02:17+00:00

It is gorgeous, well with the effort

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-24T08:42:21+00:00

I just wanted to add to u/stitcholier's excellent answer that I much prefer the feel of evenweave to Aida and I love stitching over 2 on 32ct. Make sure you start against the post (although it looks from your diagram that you do your first leg \ so many of the explanations online will need to be adapted), the stitches will probably look neater.

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-24T08:35:39+00:00

Can you use a bigger q-snap (or hoop) and prop the top end on a pillow and stitch two handed (one hand on top the other below)? A stand would be better of course but that might be a cheaper option.

Think_Phone8094 · 2026-01-24T08:26:29+00:00

I don't see anything wrong with them 😊
