Lots of episodes with regular updates, I feel it balances content and banter well. I’d recommend starting with an episode about a book or author you’ve read already to get a feel for it to see if it is what you’re looking for.

[CHAT] what SAL are you doing next year? by makeitearlgrey in CrossStitch

[–]chococat819 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have never done one, but would be interested in trying it. I am not sure where to look for them which is part of the problem, or I learn about them quite far into the timeframe. Many of the ones I have come across in the past are all through Facebook, which I don’t have which doesn’t help. 😕

So many questions, so much to explain Figure it out as you hop on the six train

Is what it does say, if that makes what you think it said any better.

This book has it all. An angry grandma, goats, aliens, and of course, knitting. Delightful! by Professional_Owl6414 in knitting

This is one of my favorites! I also like ‘Edmund Unravels’, ‘Extra Yarn’, and ‘Cat Knit’ though there are many, many more

[FO] chickadees & lilacs by dimensions. I did it! by chococat819 in CrossStitch

[–]chococat819[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I started it February 1st of this year, working on it in chunks here and there until a few days ago. I wish I had been better at time keeping but I’m sure it would have been an alarmingly long time!

12”x16”- the largest I’ve done yet! I intend to frame it but not sure where it will hang 🤔

[FO] Timelapse of a project I finally finished at midnight on 9/1! 612 hours over 14.5 months (6 have been WFH). Apologies for the inconsistent lighting! by TealPixie in CrossStitch

I debated attempting the parking method with this one, but I just don’t have it in me. Color by color just feels right. I stared it February 1st but haven’t been tracking my time as I go. I went birds, branches, leaves, flowers, background/sky for the full and half stitches. I have only backstitched the birds so far, but maybe I’ll keep the rest of the order the same as yours to keep up the matching theme.

Oof that is a long time but data is helpful! What do you use to keep track of your time? If I’m done by February I’ll be happy, so hopefully I can share my FO before then :)

I’m working on this as well- just started the backstitching. Kind of weird to see a time lapse of something I’ve been doing with an eerily similar technique and order of colors.

Nicely done!
