Current stitching.

Yes I know, this leaf stitch again. Yes, I know, soft greens and greys again. Sometimes you have an itch you just gotta scratch over and over.

I made a pillow!

It took four months of non-stop cross-stitching, but I finally finished a pattern I bought from @8pxl a little bit ago, and tonight in a bizarre burst of productivity I finally sewed a back to it and stuffed it into a cute little pillow! It ended up being pretty much perfectly sized for a neck pillow, but I'm a bit worried about it getting dirty that way.

I highly recommend the patterns from 8xpl's shop, there are SO many gorgeous ones to choose from. I might end up getting another one soon o3o

fiber artists be like “this project has shaven years off my life. for endless hours I have toiled with no end in sight, a man dying in the desert of my own foolishness. my loved ones will find my withered remains hunched over in my armchair, skeletal hands grasping the finished piece that drove me to my early grave. ooooh that pattern looks awesome I must start it right away”

Friends in fiber crafts!

DMC is having a promotional sale to get a free petite version of their gorgeous antique floss chest if you buy one of their bundles! If you embroider a lot with their floss it might be worth it for you to get one of these bundles because it saves you like 40% on the total cost of individual floss. I would love to take part in this promotion, but alas. I am a humble grad student living off loans. So hopefully someone out there can get the chest and maybe send me pictures of it. It looks so pretty.

Also.

Folks might not be aware, but DMC has free patterns on their website. Including Halloween patterns. Here’s one I picked at random:

This is a great resource for people who want to get into cross stitch and embroidery but don’t have the resources to buy patterns and kits. People ask me a lot about where they can get patterns for embroidering and I usually direct them here.

They also have free patterns and VIDEO TUTORIALS for embroidery, knitting, crochet, macrame, and other fiber crafts.

Autumn is the best time to get a new hobby. You should do it.

Wanted to share these here as well. I've been on my own journey through Hell cross stitching all of the bond forged icons from Hades! This game has been one of hyperfixations for a while now lol

i took that weird slant picture so you can sort of see the texture of this new stitch i was trying for the black, it’s called the web stitch so you can probably guess why i used it :3

#i still suck at satin stitch. i hate it #and also i made her wear the ballet shoes even though in this frame she is wesring converse just because i love the ballet shoes as part of #her design :((( #and though the converse are cool because it matches miles’ shoes part of me wishes they’d kept the pointe shoes #cathy says words #embroidery #across the spiderverse #atsv art #atsv #spiderverse #into the spiderverse #spider man: across the spider verse #gwen stacy #spider gwen #spiderman #spiderman embroidery #needlecraft #needlepoint #needleart #satin stitch #web stitch

All four stone in my Forest Floor series are done. Just thinking about mossy stones, dappled light on the forest floor, lichen, bark, leaves.

I had fun dressing up stones again.

Linen, cotton, wool and silk threads. River stones.

A friend told me about the Loose Ends Project and I think it sounds wonderful. I'm too new to cross-stitching to be of much help, but maybe I can dust off my crocheting skills....

I love when I see posts like "Share how many crochet WIPs you currently have! I have 5, it's so many!"

Like, girl, I have unfinished projects from over a decade ago that I refuse to frog on the off chance I decide to finish them. I've found years-old projects I forgot I even started and will impulsively just finish it on the spot. I've started three different projects in the last 2 months, including one I started yesterday, that I already know I may or may not finish within the year depending on motivation.

The number of WIPs I have is infinite.

#crochet #knitting #needlepoint #sewing #embroidery #shoutout to the time it took me 4 years to make my dad a hat. and like 6 years to make a turtle for a teacher. #i picked up yarn spinning for ONE day in like 2017. i have not done it since. #there's a half finished elephant amigurumi sitting in a basket and i started that guy in like 2011 #i have two maybe three shawls i know of that are sitting unfinished in a storage bag #plenty of swatches of things that i start and lose interest in #currently i have a cardigan i wanted to make and started it and then got bored so i stopped #there's a hat i was knitting for my nanna that i started maybe 2 days before she passed #and that's sat unfinished i can't even look at it. i have no clue if i'll ever actually finish it. #there's at least one skirt i never finished sewing. and two skirts i have all the materials for but haven't started. #i know i have one beach cover up dress and one cover up skirt that i started in 2017 and didn't finish. #i think my oldest work in progress though dates back to when i was 9 or 10. i made a slipper. never finished the other foot. #that was in 2005 or 06. so literally i might have WIPs older than someone who is reading this. #and those are the just some of the ones i REMEMBER. buried in my yarn stash are probably others i've just forgotten.

The last stitch on a large needlepoint. Very proud of myself for sticking to this beast of a project. I started this in October of 2022 and finished it July 1st 2023. It is 36x36 inches and is on a size 5 mesh.
