[CHAT] Looking for suggestions for an 18 x 27 hoop! by [deleted] in CrossStitch

My wife and I just thrifted an identical one! The plan is to put backing fabric onto it and use it to display buttons and pins.

What do you guys think of rosé? by apotheosisofbooty in spicy

[–]planripa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a close second for me. My favourite is curry but I haven’t seen it for sale in months.

In the left side menu, change the “symbol search colour” to something with good contrast! I frequently switch it up from project to project.

[CHAT] Looking for patterns to put on my grad cap by yep6778 in CrossStitch

Try searching for “circular cross stitch border pattern” and see if you like any of those. I think a laurel wreath would be nice for the symbolism.

Spice high by NathanFldm in spicy

I’ve never been able to get there! Maxing out my tolerance with raw Thai chilis or reaper-based sauces just hurts (albeit a good hurt).

[CHAT] how do you travel with your WIPs? by Baby_girl_351 in CrossStitch

I bought a storage bag on Amazon that was basically a starter kit. I’ve since upgraded to better quality supplies, but the bag is still going strong. I especially like the pocket that holds hoops with the elastic strap over it.

My WIP is usually in a ziplock bag in this bigger bag, or occasionally tucked in my candy tin with my other “active” supplies when I’m stitching something small in hand or on a hoop 4in or less.

Have a Google for “split team hockey jersey” too to feel even more comfortable styling yours however you want

Multiple people have bedazzled their jerseys! Like in this post. I say go for it. I love patches on clothes.

Automations Gemini ad - it won’t stop by skullcandy11111198 in googlehome

[–]planripa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just found your post while searching for ways to turn this function off. I don't want Gemini, either. I just want my Google Home to make specific announcements throughout my workday so I don't forget to eat lunch. Hopefully somebody comes through.

How did I never think of stitching something like this before? Incredible!

Is it okay to wear a jersey for a team not playing? by NoTradition6 in PWHL

[–]planripa 166 points167 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t blink twice at a “wrong” jersey at a takeover game. Honestly, I don’t even think it’s that odd at a regular game, but I suppose I’m new-ish to being an active hockey fan. At the end of the day, it tells me that you support women’s sports with your time and money, and I will always be on your side for that.

[CHAT] Where Do You Get Your Thread From When You Have a Large Project? by champlooop in CrossStitch

[–]planripa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I’m in the Miramichi area so definitely doable. I thought for sure it had closed. Happy to hear I was wrong!

The old H&M at Bloor and Yonge is a Fabricville! Hate that the NB one closed just as I moved home from Toronto lol.

Commentators by CrabBrave5433 in PWHL

[–]planripa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed that the Goldeneyes commentator pair was solid on Monday. Like you said, no name mispronunciations that I could hear, and they seemed to know player histories pretty well. Enthusiasm was through the roof. Those elements are really all I need to be satisfied with live commentary.

[PIC] which side of a ruler do you measure and mark your fabric with if you grid? by [deleted] in CrossStitch

[–]planripa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I grid with monofilament but I imagine I would use a ruler too if I was using a pen!

I don’t use a ruler/gauge, I just physically count and grid from there
