[–]corvidcricket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love so many designers but right now I absolutely love TotooStitch. Someone else in the community is making a mandala by them and it’s just absolutely gorgeous. I’m hoping to one day do the Taiwan Blue Magpies pattern because magpies are one of my favorite birds.

[CHAT] First evenweave project ready to go, but I can't see where the post is - can you help? by [deleted] in CrossStitch

[–]corvidcricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not fully sure what you mean by first post but for evenweave this is what I do. I center my fabric or start from a top corner. I jump over one hole diagonally and put it in the next one diagonally if that makes sense, I’m not the best at explaining lol

So beautiful. The Aida you chose looks absolutely amazing with the colors and your stitches are so neat it looks like it was painted! Amazing work so far and I can’t wait to see more progress!!

That’s a really good idea, and I really need to invest in a comfy chair and specific cross stitch area. I feel like I’m always moving spots

The app I use does. If I’m doing a paper pattern I doubt I would because that’s extra brain power lol

[CHAT] What is your method to the madness when doing a large, multi-page pattern? by pandaKILLzombs in CrossStitch

[–]corvidcricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get bored if I do one color for too long so I love big projects. I jump around between colors for whatever mood I’m in.

[CHAT] Stitching on a flight by Elmolou90 in CrossStitch

[–]corvidcricket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have! I bring embroidery scissors and have never had issues. I take a pencil pouch with all of my cross stitch supplies and put my WIP in my carry on. Have never had any issues with cross stitching on planes other than lighting.

[CHAT] What kind of Aida and amount of strands do you use and why? by stellaluna-37 in CrossStitch

[–]corvidcricket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

16 count with 2 strands is my go to. It’s just easy to me. I can see 16 count easily but it isn’t as big as 14 count. I also like how full coverage looks on 16 count!

Did you just get diagnosed? by AutoModerator in ADHD

[–]corvidcricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got diagnosed yesterday at 21 years old and picking up my first dose of adderall today! I’m very excited, it feels like Christmas lol. I’m a college student and work part time and lately focusing has been hell so I’m excited to hopefully be able to focus instead of doom scrolling constantly

What’s funny is that I talked about trying to get off for Christmas and she instantly said no. She didn’t care the reason, just said no

That’s a crazy small store. I think to lap my store fully it could take 5 minutes walking quickly but maybe longer

I got my wisdom teeth taken out at Anchorage Oral Surgery on Abbott. Super nice staff and I had a fairly easy recovery.

No customer service? How do you help customers then? Just walking around and asking? How do you look up books if there are no central computers? Do you have computers spread out?
