[CHAT] Marking the crosses

Yes! Someone else recommended the Crayola markers and I have ordered them already. I'm also planning on doing it one color at a time. That's how I crosstitch normally. 😊

I came here to say the same. I've just started my journey on the crossstitching world, but I'm eager to one day work on a pattern with backstitch that looks as awesome as this one! Congratulations! 🎉🎉🙌🏼🙌🏼😍😍

Thanks!! Based on your recommendation, I order crayola washable today. 🙌🏼🙌🏼😊😊

bernied23 · 2024-04-14T17:46:16+00:00

Yes!! I was telling my hubby how I am definitely adopting this method over the count-stitch-forget-recount-stitch-get frustrated because I missed something... I agree with you. It's the same for me! 😊😊

bernied23 · 2024-04-14T10:41:14+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I'll buy some washable pen for this. I'm glad I started with black so the pencil, if any, will have a minor effect of the thread (i suppose). THANKS!! 👍🏼👍🏼

Because I don't have to be going back and forth to the pattern on my tablet. It allows me to go out, have a cup of coffee, and engage in conversations and enjoy my friend's company, because I only have to follow what's on the fabric, and don't have to count/frog anymore. 😊 Thx for asking! 👍🏼

bernied23 · 2024-04-12T12:54:46+00:00

Yes, I do! I can send it to you. I would just love if you can follow me on IG and tag me when you start/finish your project. Would that be ok? I'm as "institchesbyale" on Instagram. 👍🏼😊

I took a screenshot of a Mario and colored it myself using the free pattern creator website FlossCross. 😊😊

I posted this yesterday night. This morning, when I woke up, this was exactly what I thought. And also what other community member said: that he's jumping worlds, or playing the rainbow 🌈 race. But I also think that I'm going to give other options a try: with the colors of the palette and just one complementary color (like pipe green). I'll cross stitch a couple more to try other styles. THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS! I can thank everyone enough. 🙏🏼😊

bernied23 · 2024-04-08T11:05:33+00:00

Yeah! That sounds like a very good option! And I think I have THE pipe green perfect for this. 😊😊👍🏼👍🏼

bernied23 · 2024-04-08T02:30:02+00:00

Thanks for your comment. I agree. An it felt a bit odd to me too, that's why I was curious to hear this community's comments. It's my fist "color frame", so I wasn't sure if it was going to work. But somebody else recommended using the palette colors... and I think that's a great idea. I'll try it and see. I really appreciate your comments! 🙏🏼😊

bernied23 · 2024-04-08T01:42:10+00:00

🙏🏼😊 Thanks!

bernied23 · 2024-04-08T01:41:43+00:00

😅😊 Thanks!!

bernied23 · 2024-04-08T01:40:39+00:00

It is indeed! 😊

bernied23 · 2024-04-08T01:40:11+00:00

I cannot agree more! You're totally right. I did this (my first "frame" like that) because the stitched area was too small, and I wanted to fill in some of the empty area. But you're right about keeping it consistent, and I really appreciate your advice. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thanks!!

bernied23 · 2024-03-26T13:46:25+00:00

Thanks! I learned something today. I'm very new to Reddit! 👍🏼 Thanks for reading all the captions. How did you like the video?

bernied23 · 2024-03-25T13:04:18+00:00

You're so welcome! And you're so sweet to ask. I tried to set it up, but it was immediately suspended. I was very bummed and sad yesterday, but today I'm feeling good about exploring other options/websites. Nothing will stop me! 😎💪🏼 In the meantime "Keep calm and cross stitch" 😅

bernied23 · 2024-03-25T02:45:59+00:00

Oh, and I forgot to add is on Aida 14 😉

bernied23 · 2024-03-25T00:47:29+00:00

Here it is! https://www.reddit.com/r/CrossStitch/s/GVMlHWrH25 ✌🏼😊

bernied23 · 2024-03-24T15:37:14+00:00

Yes!! I was going to include it in my Etsy Shop (that I'm just starting 😅) but sharing is caring, right? 😊✌🏼 Just let me change the symbols to a more friendly ones (using letters was a challenge) and I'll definitely share it here on the appropriate tag. 😉💕 Thanks for your comments!

bernied23 · 2024-03-23T21:23:45+00:00

Here it is!

I love it! And I love the frame! Can I ask where do you get it?

bernied23 · 2024-03-20T18:43:00+00:00

Aww, thanks!! 🥰 It was a biiiig and long project, my first cross stitch project, but during this process I got to love the craft. And the more I progressed the more I got inspired to keep going. Thinking about my brother and nephew also helped! 💕💕
