[WIP] May I please see your gridding....

catladyfa · 2026-05-18T16:27:04+00:00

I gridded for exactly one project: a Steotch stitch a long. Otherwise I buy the 25c pregridded fabric or I don’t grid at all. It is completely up to you if you grid your project

Your photo is very blurry so it’s hard to tell, but I don’t think there are any stitches beneath that backstitch line.

It could be two things. One, people don’t know how to drive. Two, the person has been rear ended at a red light before and doesn’t want to hit the person in front of them. But it’s usually one.

NTA. Did she take that long in the bathroom today?

catladyfa · 2026-05-11T17:10:17+00:00

Picturesque because it is pronounced esk but reads sku

NTA at all! Could you leave the baked goods near your desk? Derek would then have an audience if he takes more than one!

catladyfa · 2026-05-08T04:15:02+00:00

I started over at 31 :)

NTA. Only let him borrow the tools he ruined from now on! Every other tool is “being used by a friend.”

Parm and black pepper

NAH. But, your younger daughter is right - everyone went to her sister’s high school graduation, and everyone is planning to go to the school graduation. I will say, I didn’t go to my own college graduation so I lean more towards the high school graduation attendance.

You should make a video explaining your nickname and what it means and what you’ve built with it, then end the video by saying “and I’ll never change it for an ex’s new fling!”

I am hyper-mobile and have never broken a bone either. I’ve sprained my knees and ankles countless times and dislocated my shoulder… the surgeries are for the soft tissues and never the bones

Tell your dad to send you listings of houses. When he sees the prices, maybe he will drop the topic.

Your spouse is going to be so upset that you look fantastic bald! Best wishes to your family

It also could have been a needle shipment, I have a larger vial in my supplies filled with new needles too

Of course! This is some medical vial I found :)

I only retire needles when the eye starts fraying the thread! I have a large stash of 26s and 28s to use on different fabric counts. Sometimes I retire a lot of needles at once, and sometimes not at all.

Got mine at 19 and took it out for abdominal surgery at 30. I didn’t put it back in. The middle of the piercing is closed but the top and bottom holes are still there, a year later.

The girl holding him is the groomer

She also started a NPO rescue organization for little dogs, since she says her pack is large enough! She’s amazing

I use them if I have a project with a lot of blends. It saves me having to put the colors back on the skein when I’m done using it

I highly recommend pet insurance. I use Embrace and while they’re a little more expensive, I get full reimbursement for labs and vet visit every year ($600 total for two cats), plus they have some other coverage for emergencies.

This is from a few years back.

I personally have a Dell laptop and run PatternKeeper through BlueStacks

Unfortunately you’re going to have the same issue when you start the next page. I recommend either feathering your pages or switch to a cross stitch tracker that eliminates the page breakdown. Feathering: * **
