IoSapsai, in WIP Wednesday! Show us your progress!

I finished yet another page from the Greenhouse of oddities, marking the right side of the greenhouse, filled with mostly nightshades, complete. The next page is the unfinished (stinky) flower in the middle. It’s going to be a quick one as it has about 250 stitches left.

It’s looks amazing! I love seeing the progression it’s like I’m walking through the greenhouse myself lol

frickineh,

I don’t cross stitch, but this design has me thinking about it. I love everything about it, and it’s so beautiful even in progress.

thegiddystitcher, in I'm making a cross-stitching app for tracking your progress, need suggestions!

One thing that I always feel is missing from Pattern Keeper (because let’s face it your app is definitely going to get compared to Pattern Keeper) is the ability to “goto” a particular colour. Like if I’m working on a big pattern, and I’ve been disorganised as per usual, and now I only have 10 stitches of an awkward colour but they’re all spread around, it can be hard to spot them. Being able to just auto zoom from one to the other would be awesome.

That might be a completely unachievable feature but just thought I’d throw it out there!

ClickStitch,

I see what you mean, I think what you’re describing is pretty much what I used to do in Excel where you can search cells for a particular background colour and you could jump between them.

That’s an awesome suggestion, so I’ll definitely look into adding that!

That’s exactly what I was thinking of, haha, spreadsheets are very inspirational like that.

I thought it looked amazing last time you posted your progress, but that backstitching really brings it to life!

drudoo, in my first attempt at blackwork stitching!

Looks great. Love the colors

IoSapsai, in my first attempt at blackwork stitching!

You should appreciate your work more. I would call this anything but atrocious! It’s beautiful, keep working on it!

catsdoingcatstuff, in my first attempt at blackwork stitching!

Wow, you are knocking out projects so fast! Looks great.

I just started another one that will probably take me a while this time lol

Beelzebubba, in LOZALTTP World map update. Half of Kakariko and the top post of the desert temple complete

Thats really cool. I havent played the game in years but it still takes me back to when I was 12 or 13 playing on a rented cartridge trying to beat it before it was due back at the video store. It was my first Zelda Game. Imagine my surprise when i beat the agamanam guy or whatever his name was and then had another 5 dungeons thrown at me.

Will anyone notice it from three feet away? No? Then it’s perfectly fine! 😄

Llama, in WIP Wednesday is here. How much did you progress throughout the week?

I finished my Lughnasadh teapot this week! Just in time for Lughnasadh (Aug 1) too. I’m planning to watch Meryl Streep’s Dancing in Lughnasa this weekend to celebrate.

I also shifted over to stitching my sister in law a birthday card. I found this adorable pixel art by Fhupaws of a bunny eating cake that I converted into a pattern for it.

Excellent post! Thank you!

thegiddystitcher, in ClickStitch v1.0 - New app for tracking progress, managing inventory and more!
@thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee avatar

Congrats on the v1 launch! Signed up last night, I’ll be giving it a thorough investigate today.

One thing I did immediately notice though is that some of your supported patterns aren’t actually available, the first one I clicked on was “Wreath of Leaves” and it leads to a dead end on Etsy. That could potentially be a really big issue if you’re hoping to grow the pattern catalogue and get other designers on board, trying to maintain active links for everything would be a moderation nightmare. Just something to think about if you haven’t already.

thegiddystitcher, in Deep Cut Splatoon 3 I made for a friend pattern by PrismPalettePatterns
@thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee avatar

Ok I missed this because I was too busy being ill and feeling sorry for myself the last few weeks. But it’s fantastic! Love love love Splatoon, I hope it went down well with your friend :D

Kiosade, in ClickStitch v1.0 - New app for tracking progress, managing inventory and more!

I tried opening it on my phone but it doesn’t seem to load. Is the website down perhaps?

ClickStitch,

Sods law, the hosting provider I use is having a power cut in their datacentre, so all servers are down at the moment! Please try again tommorrow sorry!

Kiosade,

No worried, i’ll keep a tab with it open :)

ClickStitch,

Thank you!

It appears to still be down ☹️

ClickStitch,

Hmm, it’s definitely up now and I’ve seen a few signups already. Give it a hard refresh and see if that works, if it persists give me a DM and we can troubleshoot

n3m37h, in What do you guys do with all these leftover bits of thread?

Give it to your cat, if you don’t have one, get one and give it all the pieces

thegiddystitcher, in WIP Wednesday! Share your projects!

I’m reporting in for WIP Wednesday…on a Friday. Which probably says it all really.

Husband was in for surgery on Wednesday (it went well!) so I’ve spent the first half of this week freaking out, then this half recovering emotionally. Not much time for stitching 😅

Hoping to get a few more cogs in on the Steampunk World Map tonight though, so I can contribute an actual photo next week!
