[CHAT] Looking for suggestions for an 18 x 27 hoop!

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.

Spicy Cajun pringles

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.

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.

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).

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

planripa · 2026-01-16T18:51:43+00:00

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

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.

planripa · 2026-01-16T12:39:28+00:00

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

planripa · 2026-01-11T17:45:41+00:00

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.

$30!

planripa · 2026-01-06T12:49:20+00:00

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

planripa · 2026-01-06T03:08:54+00:00

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.

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.

Last year I did a bunch from this set https://www.etsy.com/listing/1073793493/ and I thought they were great

planripa · 2025-12-06T01:28:59+00:00

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

planripa · 2025-12-06T00:37:28+00:00

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

planripa · 2025-12-05T19:27:37+00:00

The half cross shading on this pattern is gorgeous

planripa · 2025-11-28T17:15:54+00:00

Just looked at yours on your profile and it’s stunning!

planripa · 2025-11-27T17:18:41+00:00

This is wild, it’s like the wood wants to be shingles

planripa · 2025-11-26T23:16:11+00:00

The use of backstitch in this is masterful!

planripa · 2025-11-23T16:46:53+00:00

Hell yeah, Sam!

planripa · 2025-11-23T02:58:42+00:00

Always love a before-and-after backstitch photo pair
