  • This is on 16ct and is one of the smaller HAEDs that I was able to find - their patterns are generally immense and not very practical at bigger count sizes, but my eyes would probably melt if I tried anything on the recommended 25ct.

  • I don't think railroading makes all that much of a difference unless you're using more than two strands on a big count. I think I was just complicating things for myself and I'm much happier not bothering. You've just got to find your own sweet spot and figure out what works for you!

  • I started this after spending weeks on another owl pattern that was 11 shades of grey. The intense colours were definitely the main draw, lol.

  • Thank you! I used to railroad my stitches religiously but it was so slow that I stopped - and it stills looks okay. You have a lot of wiggle room with full coverage too, which helps.

  • Who's gearing up for 24 Hours of Cross Stitch this weekend?

  • Why, what happens in May?

    I've seen one challenge that was about making 30 starts in 30 days but that would be a disaster in my house. I'm not sure what it was called though.

  • I just had a weekend of solid stitching, not sure I could swing two in a row! But I'm looking forward to seeing your before and after pics (and will try to remember to upload mine when I get home tonight)

  • How many projects do you work on at the same time?

    Jump

  • I have four; two of them are ridiculously large and I've done less than 0.5% on each - but it's the thought that counts, right?

    The other two are much smaller but still quite large and I've been focusing on one of those a lot more, since it's a gift that the person knows they're getting.

  • Amazing how much detail you can get with just six shades of the same colour!

    Jump

  • That's very cool! Did you get sick of the same shades all the time? I've got a project that's 11 shades of grey and I keep putting it down because it gets a bit dreary.

  • [WIP] The frame of the Greenhouse of Oddities SAL is complete. I might be behind but I'm proud! Biggest project I've worked on so far.

    Jump

  • That's such a neat addition to a kit! Please keep giving us updates, I'm really curious as to what else we're going to find.

  • I thought it looked like a frog? But then it wouldn't be yellow I guess.
