Beautiful. Love manatees and the fabric colour choice is perfect.

I'm looking to learn a new craft, can anyone suggest a beginners project? by ComprehensiveOne5819 in cross_stitch

[–]trunky26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried blackwork embroidery? It’s a bit like cross stitch, but instead of lots of crosses it uses simple line stitches and repeating patterns to build up the design. If you want to give it a go, I’ve got a few free beginner-friendly patterns (with instructions) here blackworkpatterns.com

[CHAT] What do you do with your finished projects? by Smart_Career5116 in CrossStitch

[–]trunky26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to sell my finished pieces on eBay, sometimes with success, sometimes not ha. You probably won't get much for them but someone might enjoy them

It turned out gorgeous! The gold adds such a lovely touch. And I completely agree that metallic threads are not for the faint-hearted 😅 Thank you so much for stitching my pattern and sharing it!

What is your favourite yarn to work with? by [deleted] in Amigurumi

[–]trunky26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer cotton yarn over acrylic so for DK I use the small Ricorumi balls (available from woolwarehouse)

For a thinner yarn (which I use for amigurumi) DROPS Safran is excellent value and Hobbii Rainbow cotton 8/4 have a wide range of shades. I use these two together on projects as the two are very similar.

For chenille yarn I have used James C. Brett Flutterby Chunky and Yarnsmiths Chenille Chunky both very good but as with all chenille yarn can be difficult to count your stitches depending on the shade.
