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?

[librarychair]

And just like that, I've caught up to the release of stitch-along patterns. Another week until the next circle. If you're interested in doing a version of this, The Steady Thread will be releasing new bits of this pattern weekly for free.

First section of the SAL complete!

Since the border is part of all the pattern sections, I'll work on it while waiting for the next section.

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

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.

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

Peppermint Purple 2024 stitchalong (SAL)

[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!
