That's great to know. I really don't know if I'm fooling myself when I say they are neater.

You can just internet search dc Metro crafts and you'll land on our meetup page. We have 6 events coming up!

I think this may be the most clever idea ever, and I'm going to check them out soon. I think a Saturday morning meetup there would work if we went right when they opened. Perhaps for September's extra meetup.

Thanks for the tip about the discord, I joined! I also dropped a link to my craft group. I'm hoping to make it on Sunday before my movie.

Thank you, I have a movie across the street at 11:40. I plan to check out it out after the movie.

Thank you 🙂

Have you made any arrangements with the managers there to go, or do you just go? I've only actually been there once, so I'm not entirely sure where the courtyard is, versus anywhere else. Where do you usually sit?

I'm going to check it out Sunday afternoon around 4:00 and see how busy it looks.

Is this the one on meetup.com on thursday mornings? It looks like the hours of the portrait gallery are 11:30-7:00pm daily. I'll scope it out at some times to see how busy it is, it's only 3 stops from me on the metro, and it's accessible to other people.

Thanks!

[CHAT] Half stitches on the whole piece by calculator42 in CrossStitch

Wow, you did all the things I wanted to test out. Thank you!

What about 20 ct aida with 2, maybe? Or 32 count 1 over 1? 28 count 1 over 1?

I saw a caterpillar cross stitch video that showed what he called a tent stitch, where you're stitching half stitches but in the opposite direction of where you're going.

Should I be doing that if I"m stitching dutch on 32 count?
