Cross stitcher, knitter, crocheter, newbie sewer (sewist?). Multicrafter extraordinaire! Have a YouTube channel I'll never not feel awkward about.
She/her, ND, reluctantly British, probably some other things I've forgotten to list.
All over the Fediverse like a rash, no regrets.
@dhork @YoBuckStopsHere Don't put that evil on us
@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! 😬
@MrJameGumb Sounds like something a super cool YouTuber might already have given up on, more like 😛
@Jornia @Drachin @lemmystitch Will let you know how long this takes and if it was worth it in the end 😅
@Jornia @Drachin @lemmystitch 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! 😆
@Jornia @Drachin @lemmystitch 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.
rolls up sleeves
@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 😁
@ubermeisters May have to look into this at some point if I ever stitch any more of their paper-only patterns!
Um, has anyone ever bothered manually converting a decently large paper pattern into digital?

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 😭
My first ever hand embroidery piece. Not too shabby, I reckon! Good tree 😁
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 😅
@IoSapsai @lemmystitch 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 🤷♀️
@IoSapsai @lemmystitch Oh no, I didn't even notice that and now I'm sad.
Artecy freebies for October
Artecy freebies for October
This month we've got a colourful tree that I really like the look of (90 colours, but it just might be worth it!), and a quintessential Italian coastal town.
This is, as promised, a reminder to cross stitch pattern hoarders everywhere 😂

It's finally here!
It's finally here!
It was how many weeks ago now that the #Packers made their dramatic comeback against the Saints?
Well I swore if we turned that game around, I'd get a Jordan Love jersey. One shipping delay and an apology discount code from the NFL Europe shop later, it hath arrived.
This is it, the season turnaround starts now. #Broncos beware!
@IoSapsai The title thing happens because Lemmy takes the first line of your toot as the post title. So if you just put the first sentence on its own, and do your community tagging separately, it's totally fine.
I have also experimented extensively, lol.
@sortofblue You're welcome! Soon you too can have an unreasonably large library of Artecy patterns you'll never get round to stitching! :apartyblobcat:
Sometimes they add them early in the month, sometimes on the last day, sometimes they forget entirely and then do two months all at once. I'll post here whenever I find they've changed it, can't hurt 😁
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 😁
Anyone else who likes to collect and hasn't seen the latest update yet..behold! https://www.artecy.com/free.html
