@jkirkendall @knitting Feeling pretty left out and somewhat peer pressured by everyone learning this lately, but sometimes peer pressure is a good thing ๐Ÿ˜

Congrats!

@LemmyFeed @CrimeDad oddlysatisfying material right there, great work OP!

@bitflipped Definitely with you there! In this case the app in question actually has a pretty good export / backup process but I just got complacent and didn't use it enough. Worked out ok in the end but it very nearly didn't and my lesson is learned! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Um, has anyone ever bothered manually converting a decently large paper pattern into digital? in c/lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works

@MrJameGumb Sounds like something a super cool YouTuber might already have given up on, more like ๐Ÿ˜›

@Jornia @Drachin @lemmy_stitch Will let you know how long this takes and if it was worth it in the end ๐Ÿ˜…

@Jornia @Drachin @lemmy_stitch Sadly mine has so much backstitch everywhere PK can't really make sense of it. But you know what, I'm in the groove, I'll just keep going.

For science! ๐Ÿ˜†

@Jornia @Drachin @lemmy_stitch Thank you! Mine is significantly smaller, but still big enough to be a pain in paper form, so sounds like I was on the right track all along.

@ubermeisters Ah right, I was thinking maybe you meant people scan in the paper version, project it onto the fabric and sketch it out or something! Other way round makes a lot more sense ๐Ÿ˜

@ubermeisters May have to look into this at some point if I ever stitch any more of their paper-only patterns!

Was it worth the time you saved during actual stitching?

Because it seemed like a really good idea to give myself a Pattern Keeper version of Errol, but this much took me half an hour, so maybe not...

Is it too late to be posting spooky stuff?

This took me like a week to stitch, another week for my fingers to heal up, and then I went and forgot to post it ๐Ÿ˜ญ

My first ever hand embroidery piece. Not too shabby, I reckon! Good tree ๐Ÿ˜

My official last project for the extended #FallFinishAlong. Roll on the next one!

Keep forgetting to post this finish, so let's do it while I think on!

This is Ocean Wonder from Caterpillar Cross Stitch, it was their subscription box number 13 and I think we can all agree it's adorable.

I think my favourites are the little turtle and seahorse friends, can't decide between them!

I have no idea how to FFO this but it's a problem for Future Michelle ๐Ÿ˜…

@IoSapsai @lemmy_stitch Yeah I'm not made of money, here!

Can't decide how I feel about the AI thing, honestly. But it makes me a bit uncomfortable so I'll sit with it and figure it out later ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Given how much I enjoy knitting socks, encourage others to try knitting socks, and basically never stop talking about knitting socks, I thought you might all appreciate the project notes from my first (media.mastodon.sunny.garden)

PSA: Artecy freebies for September are up.

I'm sure most #CrossStitch & #Embroidery folks are already aware, but #Artecy give away a couple of their patterns for free each month.

Exactly *when* the page updates each month is anyone's guess, so I just have a calendar reminder to keep checking back so I can catch 'em all ๐Ÿ˜

Anyone else who likes to collect and hasn't seen the latest update yet..behold! https://www.artecy.com/free.html
