Cross stitch, hand knitting, machine knitting, crochet, weaving, spinning... We'll see which hobby I pick up next. She/her.
Every winter, as my mom pulls out her winter things, she'll send me pics of her wearing things I've knit her. It's my favorite thing ♥️

I'm sharing a link rather than just a screenshot, because you need to see the little video/gif of this "scratch the belly nail file."

I'm doubtful they'll do anything. People have been complaining about drop shippers on the site for years, and they don't care.

At the moment I'd be happy with an option to hide certain sellers, so they stop showing up in my results.

I really, really wish that Etsy cared about AI, and allowed users to report/hide it.

Yes- exactly! It's just odd, colorful shapes until I step back and really look at the whole thing. And sometimes it's not until I take a picture that I really see it as a whole!

Like I said, my view is warped. Masochism will do that to a person 😆

If you're in the US, 123Stitch.com sells it, in both cream and white, 14ct and 16ct. I appreciate it, because I apparently have a hard time counting to 10 consistently.

Thank you! It's just under 18k stitches, so medium-ish? (My other wip is 86k, so my view may be warped).

The fabric came pre-gridded, which is my favorite thing! It's Zweigart, and the grid lines wash out.

I'm 75% done with this Cliffs of Moher travel poster, and glad to finally be stitching sheep instead of sky or water.

"Niche" also works.

Apparently my spelling is as indifferent as my spinning 🤦🏻‍♀️

It's a game changer for cross stitchers who use digital patterns!

I know I'd want the exported PDF to be compatible with PatternKeeper.

It exists! (I've thought about doing this one, because it's funny, but I craft to relax, and nothing about any of this relaxes me.)

It's a word The Simpsons made up in the 90s! (Which I am just now realizing I spelled wrong 🤦🏻‍♀️)

FYI, 123stitch.com is where I get all my cross stitch supplies (I have no local store since Joann's closed). Decent prices, quick shipping, something like a $5 flat shipping fee.

They have a good price on the Cone of Doom (big ol cone of DMC 310), too!
