Ugh, that sucks but it happens to us all at some point. If it's the first time you are stitching your own chart than it's a test stitch to find issues like this so that's a win??? lol

I was going to say you forgot to add the Battle Seals part but then I realized it says Battle Scars… I like Battle Seals better for the shear randomness. Love the cross stitch!

I freaking love Aida so yes, yes I do get this urge 😂 I wish there was a pro shot of the OBC.

It’s looking super cute! Can you share the pattern designer?

I actually do cross stitch but my brother only ever calls it crochet, no matter how many times I correct him. At least Judd was closer to being correct than my brother ever is 😂

Forgot to add the designer info. This pattern is called Autumn Bats and it’s by Feline and Floss on Etsy.

Today’s progress! Still slow going but getting into the swing of it and it’s honestly been kinda relaxing just taking it slow and steady.

I’m waiting for the day when I go to kit up a pattern & I already have all the called for floss… I have 4 plastic organizers of DMC & that day has not come 😂 there is always at least 1 missing, usually more than 1.

Wow, I’m impressed it was a kit from Michael’s. I’ve never paid much attention to them. Kits are definitely a good starting point!

That's beautiful! I love the use of half stitches and color to show depth and a fade out into the distance! Who is the pattern by?

Thanks! It’s the first pattern I’ve made from scratch. I had only altered existing patterns a bit before. Everyone who has seen me working on these has loved your pattern!

I love what you have so far and I’m excited to see the finished product!
