#Stitch Along

[paintedstitches]

I'm really getting into the fall mood! I'm about to fill my apartment with candles and wash the cozy blankets. This weekend I want to create a new halloween/fall inspired stardew valley cross stitch pattern. Is anyone interested in a stitch along?

Supernatural Stitch Along

I started WitchyStitcher’s Supernatural stitch along on 5/7/2023 and it took me till February of this year to get to this point 🫣 This is only 4879 stitches!

I’m hoping to at least finish half of this by the end of this year.

For reference this is what it will look like when finished

Night of the Frost Dragon from FlossyFoxShop! Part 1 is done! Now on to the second part of the SAL!

I've been doing the Dark Goddesses SAL by Witch's Garden Crafts and I've been following thr patterns mostly.

I couldn't get it out of my head that Hekate should be represented as the triple goddess, so I referenced the original pattern by Witch's Garden Crafts:

And I kinda zoned out and made this:

I had to recenter her and I gave her hair what I like to think of as like Cher's in Moonstruck, which meant I had to add some stuff to the right side for balance.

There are a ton of associations with Hekate, so I wasn't without options and I chose all of them and some variegated floss.

My photo's not the best and I wish I did her noses better, but I like her a lot.

Lavenders are one of the most popular flowers in hand embroidery. There are so many ways to express this flower.

Check our YouTube channel to learn 6 different ways to stitch this flower https://youtu.be/rLK3q8Ho_6U?si=3At3frr-xihvzH17

Smita has used the French Knots to work on this bunch of lavenders.

Inspired by Friendship Crochet Blanket

Michael Sellick and Jeanne Steinhilber present Inspired by Friendship Crochet Blanket—same pattern done in two different colour stories. Inspired by Friendship Crochet Blanket They chatted on a recent vacation about designing a blanket together, much like the Better Together Afghan back in 2020. A passenger spared them some yarn to begin and finish a prototype on board using Caron One Pound…

[ID: Two images; the top image is the diagram for day one of the stitch-along, and below it is an example of the diagram executed; it has a two-tone blue border interrupted by gold thread, and the lettering so far says "Yo".]

I feel like it's both a rite of passage and a sign of stress that when I was putting my fabric into the hoop I straight up ripped the hoop apart with my bare hands:

But yeah here's my day's work! Did one stitch wrong but I'll fix it when we do the section below this one.

[ID: First image, a wooden embroidery hoop; the wood has splintered around the hardware that holds it shut, and half the hinge is loose. Second image, a sheet of 18-count aida fabric with the same design as above; I am using a nice antique gold instead of the metallic gold used above.]

SPS Stitchalong '23 - Day 1

It Begins

For notation purposes, the white x's are the lighter blue, and the dark squares are the darker blue. Hopefully the gold/yellow is self evident. If you missed the setup post, you can find it here.

We will see you on Friday for the next installment! Hooray!

Happy Stitching!

🎣lure me in, baby!

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

Waittt, what did you mean with your last post?? I don't want to spoil myself so I'm waiting for the nightmare before christmas event to arrive on the eng server before diving deep into the wiki. But I HAVE to know; were there hints of Lilia joining in for a rerun or a sequel ??? Your big "OR IS IT???" filled me with way too much hope !! please tell me it wasn't a bit : (

there was a little teaser at the end that implied there'll be a sequel event, though we don't really know anything beyond that! I do think it's likely we'll get the other half of the cast in it, even if it's just wishful thinking on my part. 🤞🤞 NIGHTMARE SUITS FOR EVERYONE!!!!

as far as I know there's been no confirmation on whether it's going to be next year's Halloween event or a separate thing (the snow makes me think it'll be more Christmas-themed, or otherwise more related to the plot of the original movie) so. we're probably going to have to wait quite a while before we find out anything solid. :') they really do love just dropping these things on us and then watching us go absolutely wild with speculation while they watch like

Stitch Notes 22/08/2024

Hello!

I've made some progress today on the supernatural stitch along by WitchyStitcher. I managed to finish the siren. She is meant to be wearing a crown but I’m going to add that later with beads instead of stitching it. (And the backstitching)

[sennedjem]

It’s so satisfying 💜

It's interesting to think about how, to me at least, Dust and Killer are like mirror versions of each other.

One who joins a villain enthusiastically, jumps at the chance to leave his past behind and have a purpose again, and the other who has to be dragged in, would rather rot in the consequences of his own actions.

One who needs orders, needs the distraction and the action and the thrill, can't sit alone with his thoughts for too long lest he hear them clearly, and the other who can't bring himself to ignore the ghost over his shoulder, would rather sit in place and listen to his own self loathing parroted back at him than stand up and find a way to drown it out.

One who doesn't associate with his past anymore, that wasn't me and I wasn't him, and cannot stand the thought of going back from where he came, and the other who wants nothing more than to be his old self again but feels so strongly that he doesn't deserve to return to the life he tore down himself.

They both wear their new names like dog collars, but one is a gift given by someone else because he's theirs, he has somewhere he belongs that he's expected to return to, and the other is a choker tying him to a post, warning others of his danger while never allowing him to get out of arm's reach of his past.

And getting them both back-to-back while trying to understand mortals was probably enough to give Nightmare whiplash
